    A place wanted to visit for long time... Great view with more tourist attraction and most specially it has an adventurous route to get the beach through a jungle... Near to the beach there's a Buddhist temple called "Japanese Peace Pagoda temple". #Diving #Swimming #Paid parking

    It is a beach surrounded by the jungle. Very beautiful. But it is not good for take a bath. There are lot of parking areas. Do not park your vehicle at the first parking area. Because then you should walk nearly 2 km to the beach.

    This is a small beach, very similar to any other private beach. It’s not so crowded. There is paid parking available. Also a couple of small shops to pick up snacks and water. There is a 10-15min hike to reach the beach. The beach is clean and well maintained.

    Jungle Beach, nestled near Unawatuna in Sri Lanka. It captivates visitors with its untouched beauty, making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, or simply unwinding amidst nature’s tranquility.

    A nice place to bath. It’s very near from Rumassala. You have to park the vehicle and have to walk a little to reach the beach. Actually we found 2 beach areas. By walking on the rocks you can reach the other beach area.

    Visited - Jan 2023 It's a small beach, located in a very beautiful environment. Very beautiful and clean beach, to enjoy with your family, specially kids loves it. Beach is like a pool with very small tide, and the depth of the water also very comfortable for a 3-year-old baby. You can see some beautiful corals also here. It is very relaxing and enjoyable, and highly recommend the place. It is a must visit location, especially as a family. According to the locals, seems to have a season. From November to March, is seems to be the good season. We have visited previously as well (Aug), by that time, the beach was not clean, Plastics washed to shores, and tides also rough. So, plan your visit accordingly. On the main road, there are few street shops with King Coconut, Orange juices, etc. which you can enjoy, after having the batch at the beach (You will need this). There are few fresh water bath places available at the road side, with a small charge. So, you may have a fresh water batch also, after beach bath. Parking: Few Parking area available, and charging a reasonable amount. Access path: Need walk down for about 10 Mins, and it is like you are walking inside a mini forest. Environment: Please keep the environment clean, do not through wastes.

    Cute hidden beach accessed via an adventurous path. The smaller of the two is quieter and more beautiful. Unfortunately it's no longer a secret, it's less magical because of all the restaurants

    This is the Jungle Beach in Unawatuna, Galle is one of the best beaches in Galle. It gives an experience of traveling through a forest and a very short trekking experience. It was not the best but a must-visit beach.

    The beach is reachable by a short walk (around 10 minutes). There is a small bar for drinks and food, if it rains you can stay under there. It is a small beach, if it’s not crowded it’s a good place to relax

    It is a beautiful beach. It is covered by beautiful trees. There are some steps to get down. The beach is very clear and there are some heavy waves. We should be careful about that reason. It is recommended to bathe adults. Kids must be careful. There are a lot of tourists there. We have to protect these places for our future.

    It's a mini beach. But the place is very attractive. You have to walk for 7-10min down to the beach through the forest. Road is clear and you won't get lost. I think people in there providing some boat tours but these days (03/07/22) sea is not good to go.

    The most beautiful beach I have ever seen😍. Sea waves are low. So anyone can bath. If you come with group you can arrange a beach party. But don't put your garbage here.❌ My overall rating 9/10⭐️

    This place is incredible if you go on a Sunday, because it will be filled wiith local people who go to the sea with friends and family, so there is a charming atmosphere: many different people enjoying their incredible sea in a local way, which is the vibe I love to discover and join when I travel. The little bay is lovely, you can rent sunbeds and there is a small cafè that serves good food and cold drinks, beers and cocktails too, at honest price seen the place, that is very difficoult to reach. You will have to follow a steep path from the main road -where you leave your transport mean- down to the sea level and it’s not advisable for people who have a walking problem, beacuse it’s not paved and in some parts there are slippery passages on rocks. Coming up will be a bit heavy, but it’s surely worth the effort. Go and visit the nearby temple too, Peace Pagoda, bcause it’s very close and it’s a great place for the soul and for the landscapes you can enjoy from its first floor.

    Unawatuna Jungle Beach is one of the most fascinating beaches near the Galle- Unawatuna area. Small woods and beautiful trees give an eye-catching view to the beach. There are two sides which hava e proper beach in this area and you can go from one another through an adventurous small route stepping on rocks. You can take a three-wheel (tuk) or a bike to go close to this beach but the road is full of hills. If you are going on a bicycle motorbike be extremely careful with your breaks because when you come back steeps are extremely dangerous and there were a lot of accidents.

    I recently visited Jungle Beach and was absolutely blown away by its natural beauty. The beach is surrounded by lush greenery and has crystal clear waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The white sand beach is pristine and unspoiled, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and taking in the stunning scenery. As much as I loved my visit, it's important to note that we should all be responsible visitors and do our part in protecting this beautiful place. Please refrain from leaving any garbage or waste behind, and dispose of it in the proper bins provided. Let's all work together to ensure that this paradise stays pristine for generations to come.

    Takes a short hike to get there. There are only 2 restaurants and they stop making food by 5 PM so prepare accordingly. But it’s quite isolated and the view is super nice.

  • 5/5 isham r. 8 months ago on Google • 105 reviews
    beautiful beach, less waves, nice place to spend with friends or family. there are no washrooms or toilets at the beach, there are only few at the car park areas. also no bathing spots just after beach, you hav to come all the way up to have a wash at a shop for 100-150 bucks.

    One of the more secluded beaches in the southern coast, Jungle Beach is an idyllic stretch of golden sands that allow you to admire the grandeur of the Rumassala Hill on one side, and the stunning Indian Ocean on the other. Safe Beach. ❤️😍

  • 3/5 Joshua D. 2 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    A good place to have a swim in calm waters, small beach so it gets crowded it easily but there’s actually two beaches so u can walk along the rocks to get to the other side. There is boats pumping smoke into the water for no apparent reason just swapping places driving near tourists being annoying

    Small beach, no waves, not many people on weekdays. The descent from the paved road, where a tuk-tuk will take you, takes about 5 minutes.

  • 5/5 Maliya N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best place for a sea bathing in Sri Lanka. Safe place for bathing. You have to park your vehicles in a private parking and you should walk about 700 m along little bit hard road. There are several concrete steps during the walk. People came and enjoy with family in this place. If you want to go a boat ride there is a boat ride cost about 3000 rupees. But people didn't bring back their things. Poluted with plastics, glass bottles and polithins.

    Great, relaxing beach! We got there around 8 am and had the beach for us! The trek through the jungle makes it a very unique experience. You can buy a soft drink or food from the store on the beach and get free sun beds.

    You want vitamin SEA? Need to spend peaceful time in a secluded beach in Sri Lanka? This is one of the best isolated beach I have visited in Sri Lanka, JUNGLE BEACH is a secluded beach in Unawatuna that's growing less secluded all the time. It's still a nice and relatively peaceful Una beach off the main strip. Jungle Beach used to be quite isolated. You'd need to go up the Peace Pagoda, well off the main strip, and then hike in a circle round a peninsula before you arrived. Now you still need to get to the Peace Pagoda but they've cut some stairs straight down the hill and once you get there there are beach beds and a little restaurant. The beach is nice, it's swimmable and also better to camping , not rough and just the right size. When there are too many people, however, it becomes like any other crowded beach, Jungle Beach is still far enough from the main strip that not sooo many people COME. #srilanka #junglebeachunawatuna

    Nestled deep within the lush and pristine jungle of Sri Lanka, Jungle Beach is a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered. To reach this idyllic spot, you'll embark on a unique adventure as you drive approximately 3 kilometers through dense jungle terrain. Upon reaching the entrance, you'll need to park your vehicles and embrace a 20-minute scenic walk that winds through the heart of the jungle. This path can become quite challenging, especially on rainy days when it tends to get muddy and slippery. To fully experience the charm of Jungle Beach, it's advisable to leave your shoes behind and opt for slippers at the park area. As you emerge from the jungle, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of Jungle Beach. The view is nothing short of spectacular, offering a pristine coastline framed by the dense greenery of the surrounding jungle. This hidden gem is a local favorite, and during my visit, I found that 100% of the visitors were locals. The serenity and natural beauty of this secluded beach make it an ideal destination for relaxation and quiet contemplation. While Jungle Beach offers a stunning backdrop for swimming, it's essential to exercise caution. There are no lifeguards on duty, and the conditions can change quickly, which may not be suitable for inexperienced swimmers. Parents with young children should be especially vigilant as the absence of lifeguards may not create the safest environment. Despite these safety considerations, Jungle Beach promises a memorable experience. You can unwind, explore, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this unspoiled environment. Whether you're a local or a curious traveler, this unique haven in the jungle is sure to leave you with lasting memories. Be cautious, be safe, and make the most of your visit to Jungle Beach, a hidden gem that nature lovers will adore.

    Secluded beach only accessible by foot through the pagoda. The path is unpaved with rocks and roots. The water is calmer in the bay and better suited for swimming. There are only a few shops on the way to the beach, so you should bring drinks and food.

    A beautiful and an attractive natural beach, But it's sad to say, people have put plastic bottles, beer cans and polythene every where. It's good if people can think about the environment while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

    Rumassala is located about 3km from Galle towards Mathara. It's just a 15 minute ride away from Galle city. According to folklore, the Hanuman went to India to find a medicine called Sanjeevani to cure Prince Rama and Lakshmana during the Rama Ravana war. But he could not find it. So he brought a part of Himalayan rock to Sri Lanka. After treated he brought the rock back to Himalayas. But while lifting the rock to India, several parts of it fell down to some areas of Sri Lanka. The Rumassala forest Range is considered to be one such part. At the entrance to the Japanese Peace Pagoda, there is a statue of Hanuman which reminiscing the folklore. Once you reach the base of the Peace Pagoda, you can make a fine view of the sea and the forest range below. When you go down to the road near the entrance of the Sama Chaitya Vihara, you will come across to a pathway to the forest. After a few minutes walk you can reach to the middle of the forest and can see the jungle beach through the forest. This place is said to be the lowest point of gravity on Earth. Some say that the Rumassala mountain range escaped from India during the continental drift. If you have not been here yet, Rumassala is a must visit place for a traveller. One must feel and experience this attractive wonder of nature.

    Wonderful beach area situated inside Rumassala sanctuary. There are boat rides that can be taken. It was a nice experience and can have any sort of fun activities in the beach. Do not pollute by throwing garbages and plastic.

    Very beautiful place located in Galle district. Soft sand will give you very comfortable feeling. No much dangerous related to this place but you must consider where most of people are gathered.

    Wonderful experience! It's thrilling to penetrate through the jungle and at certain points it seems there was no way out. But then you proceed creeping through the jungle to see the inviting see waves at the end.

  • 4/5 Hansimali E. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful beach to spend some quality time if you are a beach lover. Pretty much crowded these days from dawn to dusk. Less local people. There are two beaches, one with a boutique and beach chairs. The other with two boutiques only. Boutiques serve fruits, king coconut water, cocktails, mocktails and local beer. There are restaurants and hotels along the path to the beach. It is sad that people have littered around (both locals and foreign tourists do the same). Morning time was okay (there were plastic waste) but later in the afternoon the water was contaminated with plastics and some type of oil. The boutique owners said that the oil type of waste is from the port (idk). We could not do proper dive, bath or snorkelling because of that. There are glass bottom boats as well. There are no facilities for fresh water bath, no toilets in the beach itself but the houses and shops on the side road facilitate fresh water bath for LKR 50/= per person. Overall, good for a family picnic. Please be mindful to not to leave your garbage on the beach. Once you reach the main road, you will find garbage bins maintained by the local authorities to dump your waste.

    Its a cute small beach. To reach there you need to literally hike for 10 mins to get there. Great Fun! Only downside is there is just 1 small shop serving drinks that closes around 5.30pm local time. All in all a good beach to visit and take a dip in the water

    Beautiful piece of heaven hidden amongst the dense jungle in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. Amazing scenes of both locals and foreigners having great fun in this small secluded beach.

  • 5/5 ANYMOUSECAT 2 years ago on Google
    Nice beach. Have to do a little trecking before entering to the beach. Beach is really calm and quiet. Some days it is very touristic.

  • 4/5 Valentin Z. 3 weeks ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Visiting time is 1.05.24. Everything is not bad, the water is calm, but... there is a lot of household garbage in the water. When swimming, be careful: there are huge stones in the water, and they are not visible from the surface.
