I am staying at Unawatuna beach. Is the walk to the Peace Pagoda on the hill difficult and are the views worth it for sunset.

The walk is a pleasant forty minute hike from the main Unawatuna beach, but it is mostly uphill and can be very hot during midday. A tuk tuk will take you there in five minutes for about four hundred rupees. The sunset view from the pagoda is absolutely stunning as you can see Galle Fort across the bay. It is very quiet and spiritual compared to the main beach. You can also walk down from the pagoda to the nearby Jungle Beach for a swim afterward.

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.
