Superb beach located alongside Hiriketiya road. It's a bit of a rocky beach and an ideal place to relax. It has a bit of rough waves during certain parts of the year but I don't think it's dangerous.

A beautiful beach near Tangalle with a few places to eat and drink. You can rent sun loungers here and it’s often free if you buy drinks or eat. If not, it’s around 1000 rupees. Tip…wherever you rent the lounger from is where you are expected to order food and drinks from.
The waves are deceptively high so be careful! There isn’t a lifeguard but the bar owners are helpful and friendly. One bar doesn’t have a food menu - the food is that fresh as it’s whatever they catch!
The dogs won’t bother you, they may sit under your lounger or the umbrella to keep cool.
This was a favourite part of our holiday.

A nice, peaceful beach, few beach restaurants, some sun loungers. Lovely place to relax by the coconut palms, clean sand, and sparkling shore

The beach is divine. It is about 200 metres long with soft off white sand and rolling swell. We went during the covid crisis so the beach was really quiet. The bars and restaurants that were once open were all closed down. We loved it here and found it very relaxing. It is a good idea to take snacks and refreshments with you.

Came back here for the second year as this is my favourite beach in the world. Although the waves are powerful the natural breakwaters lead to a wash that reaches 20 metres so everyone can get in. Swim further out and you have regular 3 m waves. Great fun. The beach bars, particularly Bamboo do juice, food and beer. I’ve travelled to Thailand, Malaysia, Africa and other countries and I love this beach. Perfect sand. The deserted beach at Rekawa is lovely but you cannot swim due to the rip-tides.

Small but nice beach. Do not expect swimming. Just be in the water, because of high waves. For our 2 years old child dangerous, but manageable with an adult. Benches for free if you get a drink. I recommend this place.

Hi there - we (me, boyfriend and our nearly 6 year old son) are thinking about using Goyambokka Beach as a base to hang out at for a week and also use as a base to explore other beaches. One of the main reasons that we're considering this beach, besides the fact that it looks gorgeous, is that we're hoping the sea will be okay for swimming when we are there in late December i.e. small waves? Also wondering if it's easy enough to take day trips from Goyambokka to other beaches and sites? Thanks for your help! Alison

Hi! We visited Goyambokka in April with our 9 year old children and it is as beautiful as the pictures suggest.
We stayed at a little guest house a stones throw away from the beach. All in all the beach and surrounding area has a nice low key vibe and is great to chill at for a few days. Of all the beaches in Tangalle this was easily the safest to swim at in April. There was a bit of a rip and some medium sets coming in but manageable and not as gnarly as some as the other beaches which were no swim zones.
