Natural Pool Thalpe
Prepare to be amazed by the beauty of Thalpe Beach, a true gem on Sri Lanka's south coast that will take your breath away. Unlike any other beach you've ever seen, Thalpe Beach boasts rectangular rock pools that have been expertly carved into the long-dead coral reef at the shoreline. These rock pools are so perfect that they almost seem unreal, but they were actually created over 50 years ago by the skilled hands of local villagers. Originally used to soak coconut husks, separating the coir fibers, these rock pools are now a popular tourist attraction that draws in adventurous travelers and curious locals alike. Don't miss the chance to witness the wonder of Thalpe Beach for yourself!
