A tranquil village on the south coast, Koggala hosts a picturesque beach with waves that are great for surfing. It is much less crowded than places like Hikkaduwa and Unawatuna, and many travelers will delight in a leisurely stroll along the beach in Koggala. The flora and fauna of the Koggala River and lake attract wildlife enthusiasts, especially the migrant birds that arrive during the winter season. Koggala is also home to cultural landmarks like the Martin Wickremasinghe Museum of Folk Art and Culture and the Purwarama Temple at Kataluwa.
