Things to do in Matara
Matara, a cool coastal spot in southern Sri Lanka, has a bit of everything, some culture, some beach time. You can check out the old Dutch Fort, the Devinuwara Shrine, and the Dondra Head Lighthouse for a taste of history. The Paravi Duwa Temple sits pretty on a little island, and Matara City has got a lively vibe. If you are looking for the best Matara beaches, Dickwella Beach is nice and calm for a swim, or you can snorkel at Polhena Beach’s coral pools. Hiriketiya has a chill surf spot with an interesting bay shape, and nearby, the Waurukannala Temple has a huge Buddha statue. A short trip takes you to Weherahena Temple with its unique underground Buddha statue. Blue Beach Island is quiet and tucked away, and Coconut Tree Hill in Mirissa is a fun sight. Mirissa Beach is busy and perfect for whale watching. The Hummanaya Blowhole is a neat natural site to see, and Madiha Beach and Weligama Beach are awesome for surfing. Matara mixes history, culture, and beach vibes for a solid Sri Lankan trip.
