Rekawa Beach / Turtle Conservation Area

TangalleAllow around 3 hrs

Rekawa combines a nesting beach with community-based sea turtle conservation near Tangalle. The interest is in understanding the coastal habitat and the work to protect turtles in their natural setting. Any observation visit should follow the conservation team’s current arrangements, with patience for natural behaviour and no expectation that turtles will appear on a particular visit.

The experience

Make the most of your visit

  • A sea turtle nesting-beach setting
  • Community-based conservation work

Before you go

  • Confirm the recognised visitor meeting point, current programme and return transport directly with the conservation team. Beach time and turtle observation are one locality, not two automatic full visits.
  • Follow staff rules for distance, lighting and photography; do not touch turtles or request staged hatchling releases. Wildlife sightings and nesting activity are never guaranteed.

Goyambokka Beach
Beaches~3 hrs

Goyambokka Beach

Tangalle

Goyambokka Beach is a named stretch of Tangalle’s coastline with sand, palms and ocean scenery. It gives a more specific beach choice than the general Tangalle coast entry and can suit a shore-based pause or walk. Arrange access to Goyambokka itself, since nearby Silent Beach is a separate place rather than an interchangeable name.

Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary

Tangalle

Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary offers a wetland-focused excursion from Tangalle, with birdlife as the main reason to slow down and observe. The attraction is the habitat and the opportunity to watch quietly, rather than a checklist of guaranteed species. Agree a permitted viewing route with a knowledgeable local guide and allow the visit to follow the conditions on the day.
