Rekawa Beach

About Rekawa Beach

Rekawa Beach is a stretch of coastline lying a short distance from Tangalle on Sri Lanka's south coast. Like many beaches along this shore, it offers a quieter alternative to busier resort areas, drawing visitors who come to walk along the sand, swim in the Indian Ocean, and watch the fishing boats that work these waters. The beach is also recognised as a nesting site for sea turtles, and local conservation projects allow visitors to observe this natural activity after dark during the nesting season. The surrounding area retains a largely unhurried character, with small communities going about daily life. Tangalle serves as the practical base for most visitors, providing accommodation, transport links, and the modest facilities needed to explore this and other beaches nearby.
