Sri Lanka has garnered a reputation for possessing beaches with golden sands and clear waters. In addition to the accommodation and nightlife available nearby and elsewhere the beaches are nothing short of highly exciting and exemplary. That said, the aquatic life that Sri Lankan waters attract consists of some of the most diverse marine species known to man. This country attracts five out of the 7 species of sea turtle known, thus making it the most suitable country for those tourists wishing to see a variety of sea turtle species. The most ideal place to see these species’ nesting would be Rekawa, just 10 km east of the south of Tangalla. It would be recommended to seek a package from a tour company that deals closely with the TCP (turtle conservation project), as such a company would be most knowledgeable and reliable in the handling of this excursion and would allow one to truly relax and enjoy the experience. Sea turtles are creatures that are quite docile in nature and this characteristic is enhanced more so during their breeding period. As such, there is no exact time of breeding as the time that the turtles decide to come up on shore is entirely dependent on the prevalent conditions. That said, the turtles mostly breed during the night time. Thus animal enthusiasts will have to be patient if they wish to witness these animals give birth. Nevertheless, that does not mean that one has to spend one’s time cramped up in a tent sleeping or whittling time away. Instead there are many other activities available. Bird watching is a daytime occupation that is equally as exciting as turtle watching. The Bundala national park is only an hour away from Rakawa and includes over 382 plant species, 32 different mammal species, and around 197 bird species. This is a great way to spend a day observing various rare and endemic animal species that exist in the park. Moreover, one could simply enjoy the lovely beaches and gentle waters of the beach whilst also enjoying the multitudinous stars in the night sky whilst enjoying a cold beverage. Sri Lanka is a diverse country with a multitude of attractions, form historical and cultural relics, to shopping and nightlife. Therefore, one should endeavour to travel to Sri Lanka and sample all there is to enjoy. Even after the turtles leave, one could just as easily book a diving expedition to further enjoy the available marine life, or simply explore one of the many things to do in Sri Lanka.The sheer choice of things available for visitors enjoyment could easily be accessed by visiting Truly Sri Lanka, a travel and information agency which is unsurpassed in knowledge concerning what to do in this beautiful country.
