The Jungle Beach Unawatuna, however, is a small isolated beach close to Galle and Unawatuna Beach in Sri Lanka. Best is walk or take a tuk-tuk, on a narrow and steep path through the Jungle!
​
One of those 'secret' spots that everyone seems to knows about, Jungle Beach is a pretty bay just west of Unawatuna. There are a couple of slim-line sandy coves here, some snorkelling offshore (though the reef is degraded) and a cafe (the venue for excellent DJ-driven parties on Wednesdays in high season). It's a pleasant, hilly 2km walk from Unawatuna.
When you spot this sign, you know you have come to the Jungle Beach, or Beech…..
The small bay that is Jungle Beach Unawatuna.
The first part of the beach, when entering the bay, is the most crowded one with sun beds 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.
Jungle Beach has a small bar/restaurant serving some food and drinks.
The Jungle Beach restaurant/ bar is just above the sun beds, making it very convenient to order food and drinks.
Jungle Beach is the perfect place to go swimming, with no waves or current.
Jungle Beach is 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.
