Best beach in Galle
Jungle Beach is, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach in Galle and it’s the perfect place if you want to enjoy the sun and sand without hordes of drunken Russian tourists (as can happen at the more touristy Unawatuna beach). Jungle Beach is located about 20 minutes from the historic Galle Fort area and all the tuk-tuk drivers know where it is.
Now, for an important distinction. There are actually two places called “jungle beach” that are right next to each other. The first one you come to (the one I visited) is more popular among the locals and is much more quiet and tranquil than the other. The other Jungle Beach is located at the far end of the road near the Japanese Peace Pagoda and is more touristy and crowded. I’d recommend going to the first beach but you can easily walk from one beach to the other on a path that goes through the rocks.
