If you’re vacationing in Tangalle and looking for a place to relax and cool down in, you can’t go wrong with the Goyambokka Sea. This secluded sect of the shallow ocean is a great place to go swimming in and escape the heat of the day.
What makes Goyambokka stand out among other swimming locations found in Tangalle is just how calm and serene the atmosphere here is. Very few crowds gather here and as such the beach itself is pristine, matted with white sand and fringed with shady palm groves. Additionally, the water here is crystal-clear on top being relatively calm – all of this makes for quite the amazing swimming location.
If you really want to get the best swimming experience at Goyambokka, it’s recommended that you bring a snorkelling kit with you. This will allow you to explore beneath the waves much more comfortably and even venture further out than normal. Keep your eyes peeled for the fascinating marine life that frequents these waters – from dozens of fish varieties to curios crustaceans. If you’re really lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a rare sea turtle – that’s a memory that will surely stick with you for years to come.
Reaching the beach is a relatively simple affair as well. If you’re travelling from Tangalle, all you have to do is to drive 3 kilometres along Tangalle Road towards Mihindu Mawatha and you’ll arrive at the beach.
