Unawatuna is a major tourist attraction in Sri Lanka and famous for its beautiful beach and corals. Tourists visit the Unawatuna beach to spend their holidays and weekends leisurely. The town itself is small, has great shopping, guesthouses, trendy restaurants and quite some activities and sightseeing nearby. The main attraction for the most part is on the beaches and the resorts and less on the nearby towns and villages. At the west end of the beach, there are some rocks and stairs that lead up to a small hill with a pagoda and a big Buddha statue. It’s a nice little walk with a beautiful view overlooking the beach.
