Workation in Tangalle: the essentials

Far down the south coast, 195 km from Colombo, Tangalle is a working fishing port on a wide bay protected by a reef. The old Dutch fort now serves as a prison, and the Rest House and Court House date from the same era. Long beaches stretch out on both sides of town, with strong currents along parts of them. Turtles come ashore to nest at Rekawa, and the Mulkirigala rock temple lies inland. Surfers and the café crowd mostly gather further west at Hiriketiya, so Tangalle stays quieter and more spread out. Most visitors come between November and April, and Bandaranaike International Airport is about 160 km away.
