Turtle point
Adventure sports
👍👍 Lovely spot to view and swim with turtles. No cost but you can rent a sun lounger while you are there. Definitely worth a visit especially in low season when there are not so many safe beaches to swim. You can also meet Gayan who is protecting the turtles and is doing amazing conservation work.
