Staying 2 weeks south - unawatuna or move to weligama mid way?
Want beach but not too touristy the whole time. Anyone stayed both recently?

Unawatuna is convenient and lively. Weligama quieter and more surf vibe. Many people stay Unawatuna first then move to Weligama or Ahangama for second week to change it up. Both good, just different energy.
Yeah splitting can be nice. Unawatuna more facilities, Weligama more relaxed. Depends what you want more of.
I preferred Weligama for longer stay, less crowded. Unawatuna good for first few days.
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.
