Where can you swim more safely in Unawatuna when the sea is rough?

Jungle Beach is an option for swimming during rough conditions because it is usually almost wave-free. It is very small, however, and the beach or water can sometimes be dirty.

Water behind the reef at Turtle Beach can be comparatively calm. Avoid getting too close to turtles: a large animal can accidentally knock over a swimmer, particularly when exiting the water.

On Unawatuna’s main beach, a calmer stretch is reported near Araliya Hotel. Check for moored boats before entering the water, as boats are parked in this area.
