Health & Safety

The reef makes Unawatuna one of the safest swimming beaches in Sri Lanka, as currents are minimal inside the bay.

Connectivity

Buy a Dialog or Mobitel SIM at Bandaranaike Airport for LKR 1,500 with 10GB data, much cheaper than buying locally.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Unawatuna travel guide.
