    Rumassala South Beach is situated along with the Rumassala hill in Unawatuna. It is also known as Jungle Beach and is situated in close proximity to the Galle-Matara main road. The beach can be identified easily along with the hills where there is a small temple on its peak and lush greenery in the surrounding forest. This large peace pagoda in the middle of the jungle was gifted by a Japanese monk in 2005. Rumassala is an area with a historic and legendary background. It is a small beach usually crowded with tourists and locals. However, it is far less crowded than the main beach in Unawatuna. There are small restaurants in the area and it has a good atmosphere. The Rumassala South Beach is rich in biodiversity and the reef acts as a protected sanctuary and serves as a major archaeological site. It is a well-known place for fishing and is also suitable for swimming. Getting to Rumassala South Beach From Galle take the Galle – Udugama Road up until Magalle. From there go along the Matara Road past Katugoda up until you reach Unawatuna. At Unawatuna turn to Welle Dewalaya Rodd and then turn slightly left to Yaddehimulla Road where you can go down to the Rumassala South Beach.

    This place is a part of the Rumassala Sanctuary. If you want to reach this place you'll have to come near to the Rumassala Japanese Peace Pagoda and follow the road downwards. Parking is available and it's better to park near the pagoda. Apart from the gorgeous sandy beach the shoreline to the left is rocky. An ideal camping site without any big troubles. If you go left you'll be able to find many camping spots. Some people leave Polythene and leftovers everywhere. Please protect the place. Beware of young couples :D They deserve their freedom too.

    There is no beach in this place. But you can easily go down the rocks to the water, sit on them and swim in a mask. There are fish here. Not the Red Sea, but you can swim.

    Roomassala Beach is a hidden gem renowned for its natural beauty, featuring pristine shores and crystal-clear waters. The unspoiled landscape provides a tranquil escape from the hustle of city life. However, visitors should be prepared for limited facilities, including sparse washrooms, and the challenge of poor access to the location.

    Perfect beach to have sea bath and spend free times. Beach is safe and clean, when long weekends and holidays this place get crowded. Please visit this place and dont throw your plastic bags and waste at the shore since there is no proper way for wate management.

    Snorkelling. Decent place. Had a good guide and it was a clear day. Do not compare Sri Lanka waters for snorkelling with Thailand or Seychelles. In Sri Lanka this was a good and safe experience
