It is a city in Sri Lanka located on the southern coast of the island where there are paradisiacal beaches, you can watch whales, surf or see the famous stilt fishermen.
They are one of the icons of Weligama and Sri Lanka in general. Stilt fishermen stand in the water hanging from a pole from where they fish with their rods. Seeing this centuries-old artisanal fishery is a true tourist attraction, something not to be missed.
