The beach is famous for its mesmerizing scenic view and natural seawater swimming pools where you can enjoy a quiet swim in the warm waters. Dalawella Beach is also a great place for adrenaline junkies as it is the best place for snorkelling and scuba diving where one will experience the vibrant sea creatures and the amazing sea turtles.

When in Unawatuna you will also find some of the famous stilt fishermen fish. The stilts are made of a single-pole that is positioned in the bottom of the sea with a crossbar on top, which is a precarious position in which the fishermen sit and fish.
