Flat water for a paddle within a few hundred metres of the open-sea beaches, with birds in the mangroves at first light.

A small lagoon immediately east of Tangalle town, tucked behind the Medaketiya beach road and fringed with mangroves and coconut palms. Guesthouses line its western shore and kayak trips are run from a jetty on the lagoon.
