Galle Lighthouse Tours

Galle Lighthouse was erected to help sailors navigate through rough waters. Still an important feature of the landscape today, it's sure to have some tales to tell about sailing triumphs and tragedies.

This longstanding beacon is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Fort Galle. But Galle Lighthouse isn't the only drawcard in the area. Galle Fort, Unawatuna Beach and Jungle Beach are some other recommended attractions nearby.

Jungle Beach was a twenty minute walk from Unawatuna. Situated in a clam bay so hardly any big waves and perfect water temperature. Gorgeous little beach with sun beds and a bar with amazing fresh juice. They also do beach parties. Lots of monkeys around from the forest, so mind your belongings. #beach
