Rock pools and calm water in season, but conditions change within a few hundred metres here, so ask locally before swimming.

A rocky promontory a couple of kilometres west of Tangalle, flanked by two beaches: Goyambokka on the east and Godellawela, known as Silent Beach, on the west. Black granite boulders break up the sand, and for most of the dry season the bay is flat enough that it is not surfable.
