About Tangalle
Located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Tangalle is around 200 kilometers from Colombo and has quite a few attractions.

Tangalle attracts budget tourists who wish to enjoy the scenic beauty of Sri Lanka in serene places and off-beat places. The beach is not ideal for swimming yet other sports like diving and snorkeling can be enjoyed.
