Turtle Watching in Sri Lanka 2025

There are at least seven species of sea turtles that hang out on the shores of Sri Lanka to nest

Best time: January–April

Turtle Sanctuary, Kosgoda
Bentota, Sri Lanka

Kalpitiya and Rekawa are the shores where the turtles tend to nest. You need to keep in mind that you can approach turtles only during their nesting period. Only at that time they are in a trance-like state and are not getting nervous when seeing people. You should be really careful with them, since they are considered to be endangered species that need special care and protection.
