The South Coast is more than just beaches. Start your afternoon with a walk through the Galle Fort around 4:30 PM to catch the golden hour. The ramparts offer the best sunset views in the country.

If you are heading to Mirissa, the whale-watching tours are a must, but they start early (usually 6:00 AM), so book your transport the night before. Traveler Tip: Use high-SPF sunscreen. The tropical sun near the coast is much stronger than it feels, especially with the refreshing ocean breeze masking the heat!
