A swimmable, reef-sheltered beach a few kilometres from Matara town, without the crowds of Mirissa or Weligama to the west.

A low-key beach on the western edge of Matara, where an offshore reef keeps the inshore water swimmable for much of the year. It draws surfers and long-stay travellers but stays quieter than the better-known beaches up the coast.
