Unawatuna City

Unawatuna: Serene coastal town with golden sands, turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs for snorkeling and diving.

Unawatuna linn

Unawatuna asub 140 km lõuna pool Colombost Sri Lanka lõunaosas, lähedal Galle sadamale.

Unawatunasse jõudmine: Unawatunasse saab sõita Colombo-Galle (A2) peamist maanteed pidi, samuti lõuna raudteeliini mööda, mis viib Colombost Matarasse Galle kaudu.

Unawatuna rand, maaliline poolringikujuline laht, mis ei ulatu rohkem kui kilomeetrini, on ümbritsetud palmisalu ja mõlemal lõpus lõpetavad seda kivised neemid. Põhjapoolse neemiku tipus asuv muljetavaldav stupa teeb Unawatuna ainulaadseks teiste Sri Lanka randade seas.

Suvel, snorkeldamine ja surfamine Unawatunas: Unawatunas asuvad sukeldumiskoolid aitavad turistidel rannas sukelduda. Wrack-sukeldumised sisaldavad Lord Nelsoni, kaugsõidulaeva, mis uppus umbes kümme aastat tagasi, ja 33 meetrit pika Rangooni. Snorgeldamist ja surfamist harrastatakse ka Unawatunas, kuigi mitte nii ulatuslikult kui lähedal asuvas Hikkaduwa rannas.

Majutus Unawatunas: Unawatunas pakutakse majutusvõimalusi, mis ulatuvad eelarve- ja keskmise klassi vahele.

Unawatuna on saadaval ka TripAdvisoris, Viatoris ja GetYourGuide'is

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.
