A Peaceful Waterway Adventure in Tangalle Town
Located right behind Tangalle’s coastal sandbar, Tangalle Lagoon (Medilla Lagoon) is a tranquil freshwater-meets-saltwater sanctuary.
Renting a single or double kayak allows you to silently navigate winding mangrove channels, under wooden footbridges, and past quiet lily-covered inlets.
What You Will See While Kayaking
Wildlife Sightings: Observe large water monitor lizards swimming past, blue kingfishers diving for fish, and colonies of flying fox fruit bats hanging in trees.
