Unawatuna, a coastal town situated in the Southern part of Sri Lanka in Galle district is well known for its beautiful beaches and corals.
The mythical and legendary backdrop of Unawatuna can be dug out from the epic discourse "Ramayana" by Valmiki. Hanuman, who was a warrier-monkey with super powers had been advised to bring five rare medicinal plants from Himalaya ( India) in order to cure Lakshman, who visited Srilanka to save an abducted princess called Sita.
Even though Hanuman went back to India to find the medicinal plants he was unable to identify them and brought back a large part of the mountain Himalaya and dropped it in Sri Lanka, in the place where we identify as Unawatuna today. An alternative mythical story suggests that a prince who was shipwrecked reached the shore of Unawatuna with the help of the goddess Manimekalai.
Though he was challenged by the fire which goddess Pattini set on the ground, he managed to create a Tsunami and reached Unawatuna. He has lived there for a long period of time.
The colonial period of the country marks several milestones with regard to Unawatuna. The houses and other apartments built by the Dutch in this area include the Nooit Gadacht Hotel, Unawatuna Hospital and Maharambe.
The Galle lighthouse or Edward's Pillar is known to be a fake lighthouse built during the first world war at Rumassala hill which is located in this area.
Unawatuna being rich in its biodiversity, is popular for its mangrove growth, the vast variety of birds (such as egrets, sandpipers, herons, terns and kingfishes) and also for the coral reef which attracts divers. Even though the Unawatuna beach was attacked by Tsunami in 2004, it is still listed down as one of the best 100 beaches on earth.
So, if you are planning on your journey to Sri Lanka, never think twice to write down Unawatuna beach-town as a must-visit!
