Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya

Unawatuna & Rumassala

Yatagala is a Buddhist temple in the inland surroundings of Unawatuna, where large granite boulders frame shrines and a Bodhi tree. The rock setting and religious imagery provide a change of pace from coastal sightseeing. Treat the temple grounds and their devotional features as one visit, with access guided by the custodians and the needs of worshippers.

Dalawella Beach

Unawatuna & Rumassala

Dalawella offers a named stretch of coast beyond Unawatuna’s main beach, with seaside views along a developed shoreline. The amount of exposed sand changes with the tide, making it a place to plan around current shore conditions. This entry covers beach scenery rather than the individual businesses or advertised activities associated with the area.

Japanese Peace Pagoda, Rumassala

Unawatuna & Rumassala

Rumassala’s Japanese Peace Pagoda brings a white stupa and Buddhist imagery into a coastal hillside setting. Its circular design and outlook towards the sea make it a focused cultural stop alongside Unawatuna. The pagoda is a distinct religious landmark; a visit does not automatically include Jungle Beach or a walk through the wider headland.

Jungle Beach, Rumassala

Unawatuna & Rumassala

Jungle Beach sits below Rumassala’s wooded slopes, offering a small coastal setting that differs from Unawatuna’s main beach. Its appeal is the meeting of sand, sea and hillside greenery. Plan shore time around a locally confirmed approach and current conditions, without assuming that the beach will be empty or that calm-looking water is suitable for swimming.
