Unawatuna is one of the biggest
tourist destinations in Sri Lanka and is the most “famous” beach in the
country. It is a lovely banana-shaped beach of golden sand and turquoise water,
surrounded by green palm trees! Its beach and corals. Unawatuna is rich in its
biodiversity. Its greatest potential attraction for eco-tourism was the marsh
land or mangrove, Kadolana, which was partially dredged and filled to develop a
hotel for a German hotel chain. The development never eventuated. Many locals
believe it to have been cursed for being built at the doorstep of the Wella
Devalaya.
Weligama, beach is famous for its
stilt fishermen. In chest-deep water on the beach, just few meters off-shore,
are the stilt fishermen perched on a cross bar- one on one- of a single pole
planted into the sea-bed. These fishermen, the poorest of the poor, spend hours
with their lines cast out to the sea to catch small fish. Stilt Fishing is one
of the most interesting traditional fishing methods of Sri Lanka. Records
indicate that it came into being just after World War II. This mode of fishing
was more widely used all along the coast until the tsunami in 2004 which caused
such activities to cease temporarily until recent years. The beautiful sight of
fishermen perched branched poles as they fish skillfully during dawn, noon and
dusk; can now be commonly along the southern coast in towns such as Koggala,
Kaththaluwa and Ahangama. Occasional stilt fishermen can also be seen amongst
the waters of Madu River, etc. Though stilt fishermen make the activity seem
easy and comfortable; stilt fishing requires much skill and balance .Over Night

Bentota is a historical place described in ancient messenger poems (sandeśa kāvya). The Galapatha Viharaya is one of a cluster of five ancient temples in the region In the 17th Century the Portuguese built a small fort at the mouth of the Bentota River (Bentara Ganga), which in Sinhala was called Parangi Kotuwa, meaning the fort of the Portuguese. The river marked the southern extremity of Portuguese held territory in Sri Lanka. The Dutch subsequently allowed the fort to fall into disrepair, converting one of the large buildings within the fort into a colonial rest house for Dutch Officers travelling between Colombo and Galle. The British subsequently converted the rest house into a coastal sanatorium. Sir James Emerson Tenants (1804-1869), the Colonial secretary of Ceylon (1845-1850) in his book, Ceylon, An Account of the Island (1859), stated that the rest house at Bentota, situated within a little park, deeply shaded by lofty Tamarind trees on the point of the beach where the river forms its junction with the sea, is one of the coolest and most agreeable in Ceylon. The British introduced the railway in the early 19th century, mainly to transport the coconut produce from the Deep South to the capital, building a permanent bridge (Bentota Palama) to cross the river.
