With waist-high water and coral reefs, Polhena Beach is one of Sri Lanka’s safest beaches. Swimming in this area is similar to swimming in a pool, but there is incredible aquatic life here, including countless enormous green turtles and fish that make diving here much more spectacular. 

The beach is well-kept, and with its white sand and crystal-clear water, it is the ideal vacation location. It is perfect for non-swimmers as well because the water is shallow for a considerable distance due to how far out the waves crash. This small beach is ideal for a visitor who wants to experience local life. It is a popular gathering place for locals. Beachwear can be changed in bathing and changing areas.
