Best sunset spots in different parts of Sri Lanka?
I love chasing sunsets. Any recommendations for great sunset viewpoints in the south, east, and hill country?

South: Hiriketiya cove, Mirissa beach, or the end of Galle Fort ramparts. East: Nilaveli or Uppuveli beaches (stunning). Hill country: World's End at Horton Plains (if clear), Lipton's Seat, or Ella Rock/Adam's Peak area. For something different, the train from Ella to Badulla has incredible sunset views from the carriage. Always check the weather - many 'famous' spots are cloudy.
Galle Fort at sunset is magical and easy. For something quieter, the small beaches south of Weligama often have almost no one there at sunset.
