What can I say, Kosgoda Beach is truly gorgeous. The
sea just outside the Kosgoda Beach Hotel (where we stayed)
is a bit too rough to swim in, but walk about 100 yards
to the left or right and it's a bit calmer. Beautiful,
warm water and a cooling breeze coming off the sea. The
beach touts can be a bit of a pain as many don't take
no for an answer but hey, everyone's got to make a living
somehow.
The hotel's a nice place to spend a few days - good pool,
decent nosh, nice staff, clean rooms etc. There's also
a rather beautiful lagoon right by the hotel.
At night sea turtles can often be seen coming onto the
beach to lay their eggs. I was too chickenshit (sensible?!)
to go walking down the beach on my own in the dark to
sneak a view of the sea turtles in action (you never know
what dodgy characters are lurking). However a visit to
the nearby turtle sanctuary
almost made up for it.
