The beach is not bad, but like the entire ocean in this area of Sri Lanka, it is restless. The waves are constant and high. The water is clean, shallow. But unfortunately, you will not be able to swim with the children.
For those who want a calm ocean, it is better to consider the beaches of Unawatuna. You can get there from Akhungalla by a common means of transportation, namely a tuk-tuk.
A great place to sink and stay forever in the warm Indian Ocean. With a constant wave height of 1-1.5 meters, I do not see any other use for this prylyage
The beach in the area of the RIO hotel in the fishing town of Ahungalla, Sri Lanka, I rate as satisfactory. There are very strong waves, but very shallow and, in principle, it's fun to play with the wave, it's not scary, but it takes your breath away, it's amazing. The beach is sandy, very hot in sunny weather. There are no sun beds on the beach. All conditions in the hotel are created for comfortable bathing and sunbathing
