Galle
The historic fort is perfect for wandering, with cafés, galleries and sunset walks on the ramparts.
Surf towns
Weligama has gentle waves popular for lessons, while Mirissa is known for its lively beach and seasonal whale-watching trips.
Quieter bays
Further east towards Tangalle, beaches tend to be wider and quieter — good for a slower finish to a trip.
When to go
The south coast is generally at its best from about December to April.
