Goyambokka Beach
Goyambokka
A small bay on the western side of Tangalle, with relatively gentle waves and beachside shacks serving fresh seafood and coconuts.
Goyambokka Beach lies about 2 km southwest of Tangalle town. It is a curved bay enclosed by rocks, with brilliant blue water. In peak season the waves are gentler than on the open beaches to the east, making it one of the best beaches in Tangalle for swimming. A few simple beach restaurants on the sand serve grilled fish, curry and coconut water, and sunbeds are usually available to use with a purchase. It is about 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from town and can be combined with Silent Beach for a half-day outing. In the rainy season (May to October) the waves are large, so heed the warning signs on the shore and do not swim near the rocks.
