Some of the quieter beaches south of Unawatuna or slightly outside Galle Fort have been nicer for sunset this week with fewer people. The main spots can get busy with tour groups and photographers. Asking locally or at your accommodation for the current quieter options works well — conditions and crowds shift. Some hotels have good rooftop or garden views that are less crowded than public beaches. The week has been good for finding peaceful sunset spots if you're willing to walk a bit or ask around. Some of the best sunsets I've seen were at very ordinary beaches with almost no one else there.

Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
