Weave through a jungle to find this secret beach - Jungle Beach - Best Beach In Rumassala Of Sri Lanka
Lonely Planet says, “Sri Lanka is an Undiscovered Country”. If so, what would you call a still not-so-popular beach in the Southern part of this Undiscovered Island? Drum-roll… The Jungle Beach! This is a famous beach strip in Unawatuna, Galle in Sri Lanka.
The Jungle Beach is not a large very popular beach length of 150 meters, which is located on the opposite side of the Bay of Galle near Unawatuna. 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.
Ideal after a trek to Rumassala Hill, make your way to Jungle Beach to shake off the humidity and heat. Wade and weave through a thick jungle before finding the enticing blue waters and warm golden sands. A refreshing swim before heading back to one of our Taru Villas properties in Galle Fort will be ideal for your beach holiday.
Located west to Unawatuna, Jungle Beach is a pretty bay nestled in a forested area. It is one of the secret gems of Sri Lanka which has everything to make your holiday experience one of its kind. The place retains its pristine natural charm as it is not ventured by a large number of tourists throughout the year due to its secluded location.
Jungle Beach offers a plethora of water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, boat ride and many more. The reefs jutting out of water a few metres offshore make a good site for snorkelling which introduces you to the exotic marine life of the region. Apart from schools of colourful fishes you will spot moray eels, encounter crabs, barracudas, trigger fish and many other reef dwelling creatures. The other activities you can indulge in Jungle Beach include whale watching, visiting historical ruins, jungle hiking and many more.
There are top notch resorts and cabins at Jungle Beach furnished with plush amenities and offering you a tranquil retreat amidst the jungle settings. The resorts and cabins have private walkways which will lead you to the calm shoreline caressed by the lapping waves of the Indian Ocean. You can savour traditional Sri Lankan cuisine in a communal restaurant or enjoy private dining on a beachside restaurant. In a nutshell, Jungle Beach is the place which awaits you to explore its hidden treasure and spend your vacation in style and luxury.
Since you are travelling to a foreign land there are some insider tips for you to enjoy a hassle free vacation. Following are some useful tips that will help you make the most of your secluded vacation at the Jungle Beach:
Jungle Beach is the perfect place to go swimming, with no waves or current - Quiet and peaceful at the other end of Jungle Beach
1. Make sure you carry sufficient water and other essentials if you have hiking in your itineraries since it is a hot and humid place.
2. The minimum age limit of drinking is 21 years. Drink responsibly if you visit the beachside pubs.
3. Drug abuse rate is quite high in this area. Roam around carefully on the beach as you may get drug offers from the dealers.
4. The beaches near Unawatuna are dangerous and prone to accidents. Keep children away from water in these beaches.
5. You need to apply for an electronic visa or eVisa while making your tour plan for the Jungle Beach since Sri Lanka does not offer a visa on arrival.Be careful while filling out the visa form.
6. If you have a Buddha tattoo hide it while travelling to Jungle Beach. Sri Lankans have zero tolerance for tourists with such imprints on their skin. There are earlier instances of tourists being arrested by the police for having Buddha tattoos.
7. Stick to bottled water while travelling to avoid health risk.
8. Carry a few US dollars or Euros and get them exchanged from a bank in case your card doesn't work. Most of the banks in Sri Lanka closes at 3pm.
9. Supermarkets in the Jungle Beach area are high end shopping joints. So, if you are on a budget trip you should consider shopping from places away from beach towns.
10. While crossing the woodland area of Jungle Beach, make sure you keep your bags closed as you will meet a lot of playful monkeys on your way.
The first part of the beach, when entering the bay, is the most crowded one with sunbeds and a small cafe/ restaurant serving some Sri Lankan dishes as well as sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. It is however far less crowded than the main Unawatuna Beach.
We really enjoyed our day out at Jungle Beach in Sri Lanka! Such a peaceful and quiet little beach, with great swimming. It is, however, a rather small beach, and it is a bit of hassle to get there. It is a nice break from Unawatuna Beach though if you are staying in this area or in Galle. We did like Mirissa Beach and Tangalla Beach better than Jungle Beach.
