Koggala is a picturesque coastal town, known for its stunning beaches, tranquil lagoons, and
rich cultural heritage. The area is also famous for its traditional fishing methods, including stilt fishing,
which involves fishermen balancing on long, vertical poles (or stilts) anchored to the seabed, usually in
shallow waters. They use a small platform to sit or stand while casting their lines into the ocean. Visitors
can also explore the scenic Koggala Lake, which is dotted with small islands and surrounded by lush
greenery. Boat rides on the lake offer a serene experience, with chances to spot various bird species and
enjoy the tranquil environment. With its blend of cultural richness, natural beauty, and recreational
opportunities, Koggala offers a delightful experience for tourists looking to explore the southern coast of
Sri Lanka.
