Enjoy the beautiful sea shells (including the inhabited ones) on Patini Beach Rock on this endless stretch of tropical beach (Medilla Beach).

Refresh yourself playing in the ocean waves.

"Surf" on the ocean waves with our body boards available on request. A real surfing beach is available at the west side of Tangalle. Please read surfing activities at Tangalle.

Snorkelling at Patini was possible few years ago when the sea was very calm. Three snorkelling spots are available at Tangalle, not beautiful but it is possible to see some colourful fish. Please read snorkelling activities at Tangalle.
