100 best beaches in the world by CNN 2017 – # 79. Unawatuna, Sri Lanka

Relatert bilde

It can’t be easy being a standout beach in a country of awesome beaches, but Unawatuna does it. Hanging off the southern tip of Sri Lanka, it stretches for more than a mile, and is marked by palm trees, thatch huts and a languid pace. Unfortunately, the area was hit hard by the 2004 tsunami, and the place hasn’t yet returned to its pre-tsunami beauty.

Highlight: The laid-back, young-traveler atmosphere.
