Unawatuna beach swimming conditions right now — safe for kids or still rough?
Here with my 6-year-old. Is the water calm enough for her to swim safely this week?

The beach has been a bit rough the last couple of days with some waves and currents. Not ideal for young children right now. Some families are using hotel pools instead or going to calmer spots nearby. Conditions can change daily though — worth asking at your hotel this evening what locals are saying about tomorrow. Many parents are being extra cautious this week. The pool at your accommodation might be the safest bet for a little one until the water calms down.
Been a bit rough lately. Pools are safer for young kids right now. Ask locally tonight about tomorrow's conditions.
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.
