👍👍 Interesting experience. You get to see many snakes, and you can also touch them and have them crawl over you if you are not afraid (but it is safe). And the owner is friendly. We recommend visiting.

Weligama Beach (surf and stay)
Tourist attraction
🫤 Not sure why many of the other reviews don't mention how much rubbish is on this beach. During off season (May), this beach was empty but full of plastic trash. Weligama beach certainly didn't look like any of the pics in the other reviews. Perhaps during peak season it's tidied up? Out of the 4 pop...

The Cliff Weligama
Restaurant
👍 The food was average: bowl with seafood and baby shrimps are nothing special, there are many places around with better bowls. Fish and chips are surprisingly good, maybe the best dish there, but we didn’t took a picture, as it was dark. Non-alcoholic drinks were delicious.
Anyway, sunset view was so...
