Unawatuna, less than 5km's southward around the coast of Galle , is a beach resort waiting to happen. This 4km sweep of palm-fringed sand - said by some to rank amongst the twelve best beaches in the world - would no doubt already have gone the way of Beruwala, Bentota and Hikkaduwa. As it is, Unawatuna, even though no longer the well-kept secret of a handful of die-hard backpackers and divers, is still far from being over-developed. Attractions include sheltered waters for swimming, and an accessible, reasonably well-preserved coral reef for snorkeling. For scuba divers, there are several wreck dives only 20-30 minutes away from the beach by boat.
