What the Drive Is Like
Roads
The coastal A2 road runs close to the shore, linking the south-coast beach towns. A steady drive with moderate traffic through villages.
Scenery
Palm-lined beaches, fishing harbours, and the open Indian Ocean for much of the way. Look for the traditional stilt fishermen around Weligama.
★ Travel Tips
- Distances between south-coast towns are short, so day trips are easy.
- Whale watching from Mirissa runs roughly November to April.
- The coast road is slower than the expressway but far more scenic.
