As stars shine on wild night oceans, mother sea turtles slowly emerge from the depths and amble on to the southern beaches of Sri Lanka. A coastal stretch in Kalametiya, Tangalle hides the shadows of gentle nesting turtles looking for the right sand to lay their eggs. This coastal stretch, known as Rekawa Beach, is not only known for its moonlit turtle nesting grounds, but a turtle-loving community called the Turtle Conservation Project (TCP) invites you to responsibly watch turtles nesting! Turtle watching in Rekawa is unlike commercial Turtle Hatcheries which don’t contribute to real turtle conservation in Sri Lanka. This is a more guilt-free, soul-lifting experience that lets you ethically look-but-don’t-touch. Turtle watching in Sri Lanka is available all year round, with a high season from April to July, and a low season from October to January. However, each turtle quest is filled with that same quiet awe; your sandy, moonlit front-row seat lets you actually witness a mama turtle use her flippers to dig a hole and fill the sandy nest with her clutch of soft-shelled eggs. Depending on the species, a typical clutch may contain 50 – 200 eggs! After laying, she tenderly re-fills the nest with sand, re-sculpting and smoothing the surface, and then camouflages the nest with vegetation. Afterwards, she leaves her babies to the care of the TCP – who are committed to making sure the eggs hatch safely – and returns to the sea. As far as ‘Things to do in Tangalle’ goes, this would be the most magical.

Rekawa Beach, 10km east of Tangalle town. This beach has a growing reputation as the turtle-watching beach and many people head down here during the season (April to September) to witness the turtles come to the shore to lay their eggs, a whole 120 of them! The tours run at 8:00 pm every evening by volunteers and locals from the non-profit Turtle Conservation Project and they do request 1000 LKR ($6 USD) to join the tour. If you don’t see the turtles, you can come back the following night without paying again. The whole process can take up to 2 hours from when the turtles first leave the ocean so be prepared to get comfortable on the sand!
