Good area, spectacularly  beautiful beach. In season now. There are some nice restaurants and accommodations in my area. Safe to walk, low crime. I've lived in SL for 2,5 years and it's safe for solo female travellers.  Dress modestly of possible as it's a conservative area. Use pickme in Matara town or drivers with meters

Sri Lanka, a gem nestled in the Indian Ocean off Southeast India, is a radiant blend of tropical beaches, verdant tea plantations, wildlife-strewn savannah, and intricate sacred relics. Known as the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean', Sri Lanka boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, the Sigiriya rock fortress, and the sacred city of Kandy. It's globally renowned for its Ceylon Tea, prolific wildlife - featuring elephants, leopards and a myriad of bird species - and vibrant Sinhalese and Tamil cultures. From the Dutch colonial architecture of Galle to the traditional festivals brimming with dances, masks, and fire-walking, and the sun-kissed, palm-fringed beaches of Trincomalee and Unawatuna, Sri Lanka pulses with an irresistible allure for explorers.
