To get a completely unique angle of the Galle Lighthouse, walk along the fortress walls towards the Flag Rock Bastion. Climbing up the grassy embankments there gives you a stunning, elevated view looking back at the brilliant white lighthouse framed perfectly against the deep blue ocean, completely avoiding the crowds standing directly at its base.

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.
