That's how Unawatuna beach had looked like back in 2008.

Meanwhile various hotels and guesthouses have been raised on Unawatuna beach that are giving visitors the ultimate feeling of living almost right on the water.

In fact a large amount of courageous villains have been successfully resisting all government efforts aimed at creating an empty 100 meter zone after the 2004 tsunami had killed over 30.000 Sri Lankans.

Unawatuna is perhaps the most famous bay in Sri Lanka and each season all Hotels and guest houses are fully booked up to the roof even at most exorbitant rates.

All those who want to come around Christmas will need to book way in advance.
