We got a tuk tuk up to the pagoda and they waited before taking us back. Absolutely beautiful site and a very peaceful place for a moment of reflection.

Nice peaceful place

If you are in Unawatuna it is worth the little hike from the beach. A very peaceful place with lovely overview over the sea.

Reflect on the Tsunami tragedy

This is a lovely spot to visit, quite tranquil amidst giant Buddha statues. A spot dedicated to the victims of the fateful Tsunami of 2004

Understated, peaceful pagoda in rural location

Delightfully secluded, on a promontory on the Galle Barbour, we were the only visitors as we circled the pagoda, allowing us the space to enjoy its tranquility. Embellished with only a few reliefs of Buddha, a quiet contrast to the busy activity of the old...More

Peaceful

Serene place if you want some peace and quiet with a great view. Not far from Galle in a tuk tuk or you can climb from jungle beach too. Dress modestly if you intended to go inside the temple.

Serene place

This is a place of religious worship for Buddhists. The peace pagoda has been built in recent times in line with the Sri Lanka / Japan goodwill exchanges. Has a nice view and is also a very quite / serene place for the religious mind.

This is quite a piece of architecture. Unfortunately when we visited it had been raining and, as you must remove your shoes to go onto the pagoda and it is a smooth tiled floor, it was dangerously slippy and did not feel safe to walk...More
