Buthawa Beach

About Buthawa Beach

Buthawa Beach is a coastal stretch located within the Yala region, accessible from the town of Tissamaharama in Sri Lanka's south-east. Sitting close to Yala National Park, the beach offers a relatively undisturbed shoreline where visitors can walk along the sand, take in coastal scenery, and observe the natural surroundings. The area tends to attract those combining a beach stop with a wildlife safari at nearby Yala, making it a quiet complement to the region's well-known nature experiences. Being somewhat off the main tourist circuit, the atmosphere here is generally unhurried. Tissamaharama, the nearest town, serves as a practical base for the area and provides accommodation, food, and transport connections for those exploring this part of the south-east coast.
