Staying south coast 3 weeks - best base or move around?
Want to settle in one spot mostly. Unawatuna, weligama or further? Good for long stay vibe.

Weligama or Ahangama area has good long stay vibe, surf, cafes, nomad energy but not too crazy. Unawatuna more touristy and can feel busy. Further like Hiriketiya or Tangalle quieter if you want peace. Depends what you like doing daily. Many people base in one and do day trips.
Weligama popular for longer stays. Good balance. Unawatuna fun but busier.
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.
