Where is the famous Dalawella palm tree rope swing?

That iconic palm tree rope swing is on Dalawella Beach, just right in front of the Dream Cabana guesthouse near Unawatuna. It’s on the southern coast, and it’s a short tuk-tuk ride from Galle, so getting there is easy.

This very camera-friendly place asks for a small fee from the guesthouse owners for unlimited swings. The most striking photos are made around sunset when the Indian Ocean gives you this golden backdrop. Still, coming early in the morning means you dodge the long queues of tourists.
