Is Unawatuna LGBTQ+ friendly?

Unawatuna feels like this busy beach town, mostly made for tourists, with a relaxed bohemian vibe that is really welcoming for LGBTQ+ travellers, even if at times it’s a little chaotic. The big wave of international backpackers and holidaymakers has made things more open-minded around here.

You won’t run out of inclusive beachfront bars, guesthouses, and restaurants to choose from. Still, it’s best to keep public affection pretty light on the main stretches, just out of consideration for local families. Meanwhile, the nightlife spots and hospitality places are already used to welcoming all kinds of visitors from across the world.
