    Tangalle, Silent Beach

    June 29, 2023 in Sri Lanka ⋅ 🌬 30 °C

    The first beach destination we visited after Tissamaharama was Tangalle. As in Cambodia, the weather gods were not too fond of us and sent us some rain after lunch time. It was not really a problem as we could not really swim because of the big waves and as the beach at our little guesthouse was really empty - partly due to low season and partly due to a big hotel complex which bought all the land and forces the cute little beach bars to close down. The two beach bar owners we met even told us that the police came and tore everything down 😒 (sounds familiar? Same sh*t happening in Koh Rong Sanloem, Cambodia). Anyways, the beach name (Silent Beach) was true to its meaning 🤷🏻‍♀️
    The highlights of our stay at Tangalle were therefore the bus ride to the town and the food we got for dinner, cooked by our lovely guesthouse host - delicious!! But we noticed quite upon arrival at Tangalle that this will not be our beach place to relax, so our next stop Mirissa will hopefully do it! 🤞🏼🌴
