Tangalle City
Strung out along one of the South's most stunning stretches of coastline, TANGALLE (or Tangalla) is among the region’s more developed beach destinations, with a string of simple guesthouses – and a handful of upmarket hotels and villas – dotted along the coves and beaches which line the oceanfront here.
Rekawa laguun
Rekawa laguun on maaliline rannikulagun, mis asub Sri Lanka lõunaosas lähedal Tangalle. Mangroovide, soode ja lopsaka taimestikuga ümbritsetud laguun on oluline looduslik elupaik, mis toetab mitmekesist looduse elu ja aitab kaasa piirkonna ökoloogilisele rikkusele.
Lagunisüsteem on koduks paljudele lindudele, kaladele, koorikloomadele ja veetaimedele. Rannikul asuvad mangroovimetsad pakuvad varju loodusele ja aitavad kaitsta rannikut erosiooni eest, samal ajal hoides tasakaalustatud keskkonda mere- ja magevee liikidele.
Külastajad saavad Rekawa laguunis nautida rahulikke paadisõite, lindude vaatlemist ja looduse fotograafiat, uurides rahulikke vetesid ja ümbritsevat maastikku. Piirkond pakub vaikset ja lõõgastavat kogemust looduse armastajatele, kes on huvitatud Sri Lanka sooekosüsteemide jälgimisest.
Rekawa laguunis külastamiseks on parim aeg kuivhooajal, detsembrist detsember kuni aprill, kui ilmastikutingimused on soodsad õuemõõdetud tegevustele. Tangallest kergesti ligipääsetav laguun pakub värskendavat looduslikku pelgupaika ja võimalusi kogeda piirkonna loodust ja ranniku ilu.

About Southern Province
The Southern Province of Sri Lanka is a small geographic area consisting of the districts of Galle, Matara and Hambantota. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source of income for the vast majority of the people of this region.
Important landmarks of the Southern Province include the wildlife sanctuaries of the Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle. (Although Galle is an ancient city, almost nothing survives from before the Portuguese invasion.) During the Portuguese period there were two famous Sinhalese poets called Andare who was from Dickwella and Gajaman Nona who was from Denipitiya in Matara District, composing poems on common man.
