    Talalla Beach in Sri Lanka is a beautiful yet underdeveloped beach located 190km from Colombo along the south coast. The sandy bottom of the bay makes it an ideal spot for beginners and intermediate surfing. After the 2004 tsunami, a local surfing group was formed to support the community. Currently, the beach sees little tourism but offers natural beauty for swimming and surfing. With west/southwest winds during surf season, Talalla Beach has potential to promote kiteboarding, surf camps, and infrastructure without harming the environment. Existing facilities include accommodation, food, yoga, and massages, while transportation and surf schools need further development.
