A guest post about a trip to the Jungle Beach near Unawatuna that I wrote for http://solotravelerblog.com

“Unawatuna is the Samui of Sri Lanka: the very definition of the “beaten track”.  One night out and one day in make me crave an adventure, but I’m so exhausted after my never-ending flight from Istanbul that I persuade myself to stay put.  I dedicate the day to reading on the beach which proves to be challenging as every few minutes I’m required to politely refuse yet another overpriced coconut.  People, locals and tourists, are everywhere and they don’t let me forget it.  I overhear somebody mention Jungle Beach – the words “secluded” and “hard to get to” are used.  A few minutes later I’m on my way.”
