I have never surfed before. Are the waves in Unawatuna safe for learning.

Unawatuna beach itself is heavily protected by reefs meaning the bay is completely flat and has virtually zero surfable waves. It is perfect for swimming but terrible for surfing.

Dozens of highly professional surf schools line the beach at Dewata where you can easily rent a massive foam board and hire a local instructor by the hour for a very reasonable local price.

However just a five minute tuk tuk ride away is Dewata beach and South Beach. These specific spots offer incredibly soft gentle white water waves rolling over a completely sandy bottom making them absolute paradise for complete beginners.
