Hello Fellow Travelers,
I am seeking some advice on location for a retirement beach house (not for tourism)
I've been offered several properties (size and price relatively same) and would like to know what you all think.
Selection criteria based on, quality of beach/sea, noise from Galle Road, services like fibre interne, garbage disposal, recycling etc
Ahungalla Balapitiya Area
- Picture-postcard sunsets
- beaches are clean and wide (not as swimmable as some below)
- crowd less
- away from Galle road – so less noise and road reservation
Dondanduwa Rathgama Area
- Picture-postcard sunsets
- Not sure how wide the beaches are during Monsoon season?/ narrow beaches?
- crowd less
- away from Galle road – so less noise and road reservation
- Ugly monstrous Highrise buildings in the distance horizon. (not sure how they got permission)
Kamburugamuwa
- Picture-postcard sunsets
- Narrow beaches?
- Narrow plots
- Beaches could be crowdy?
- Ugly monstrous Highrise buildings in the distance horizon. (not sure how they got permission)
Dikwella/Mawella/Tallalla
- Beautiful wide beach
- Swimmable sea
- Sunsets are not as gorgeous as western beaches
- Some plots are next to Galle road – so could be noisy? (even though the roads after Matara is not as crowded)
- Services like fibre internet?
All comments are welcome. Thank you
