Loved our stay here. The hotel has lovely rooms that look out over the sea. From the roof terrace you can see amazing sunsets. A fairly stiff uneven walk of 10 minutes take you down to a paradise beach that is safe and so beautiful. The owners son is a qualified life guard and invited me to go snorkelling with him around the headland. It was an unforgettable experience and I’m so grateful for the kindness he showed to my wife and I. Nothing was too much trouble. If you like nature you’ll love Jungle Beach.

Idyllic beach with free sunbeds and brollies if you buy a drink or eat at the cafe. There is a row of coral pieces to walk through between the sand of the beach and the sand in the sea but is fine if you tread cautiously. We had so much fun swimming and bouncing in the sea. There are a few beautiful fish to see snorkeling however the coral is dull and for us, it wasn't worth snorkeling more than once. The huge benefit to a fifty something lady is a clean, nice smelling and flushing toilet, although I recommend bringing tissues and the torch on your phone as there is no light. It can get quite busy so we always went in the morning. Best to take a tuk tuk to the jungle beach path unless you are very fit as the road is steep and endlessly uphill...even the tuk tuks struggle... The path to jungle beach is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, with some slippery places...watch out for over hanging branches as I clonked my head! Not for those with limited mobility/balance. We visited 3 times and far preferred it to the more touristy/hotel-laden Unawatuna beach.

Pretty beach less crowded with tourists Short walk through the jungle before tasting the clear water and the ambient calm Meals with your feet in the water Crystal clear water without waves if you travel with children On arrival you will be sized up by a few monkeys and their babies

Small beach that is quite dirty. Too much trach around. Nice people that works there. Not much waves that can be good. Had no walk down from the road for 15min On our way back we saw monkeys.

Very nice beach and beautiful view. There are two small beaches next to each other. On both you will find wooden loungers and a restaurant. The food was good and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately, there is garbage everywhere and a lot of garbage is also washed up, which allows you to swim in the water between garbage.

We've visited this beach 3x during our stay. Visiting the peace pagoda and having a swim early am is great! Sadly there was alot of rubbish in the ocean (like many spots)and on the beach today, we did our best to clean up,esp rubbish in the sea. Wish people would care for these special places a little more. great spot for sandcastles!

We were reluctant to visit as had read a few reviews about all the rubbish on the beach - this was not the case when we visited - it was clean and a nice spot to swim. There is a cafe at the beach but it seemed they were packing it up to close for the pending wet season. Staff at the beach cafe were friendly and drinks and snacks were available. Water was calm for swimming but we did observe a young boy who couldn’t swim get into difficulty and his father jump in fully dressed to save him. Took a tuk tuk from Galle Fort for 500LKR but the return trip was 1500LKR . There will be a few drivers waiting for your return fare. Happy we visited Jungle Beach despite some of the negative reviews.

Really wanted to watch the famous Jungle Beach. They came to the beach on a tuk tuk. Then a little way down the path and there it is - the beach. The beach has a cafe with sunbeds, no big waves, people swimming. But we didn't go swimming. Very dirty, garbage everywhere, coconut scraps, tree branches. The beach is not looked after at all. Polluting nature, it's all messed up. Near Jungle Beach many monkeys fed them bananas.Back went on foot to Unawatuna to the beach through the forest along a path. You can't get lost, there are signs everywhere. If you turn right and go down the path to the sea, you'll have a small waterfall. And they saw iguanas, peacocks on the way. It took 30 minutes. If the Lankans don't take care of the beach, then let's start with ourselves and not throw rubbish underfoot. Let's not pollute nature, we all live on this little planet!

Beach is good. It’s a five minute walk down hill through a jungle. There are no public toilets or changing rooms at the beach. I would recommend not to litter and take it back to keep the place pristine. If you need to change and have shower a private resident is providing for a small fee. Shower 100 rupees Toilet. 50 rupees

It consists of a small (closer to Unawatuna) and a large beach (towards Halle), separated by a rocky shore near which constantly swim with masks, and on the very shore on huge sharp-angle boulders climb both ways tourists. The small beach through is too crowded, because it is preferred for swimming, it has no coral reefs (as on the big one), no waves and a very smooth entrance, which is suitable for children. The large beach is much wider and sparsely populated, the beach is just as beautiful and you can lie in the shade of trees. Monkeys at every turn - bring bananas and get plenty of close-range shots.
