Kosgoda
Southern Province
Kosgoda is a quiet beach village on the south-west coast, best known for its sea turtle hatcheries. Several species of turtle come ashore here to nest, and small projects protect the eggs and release the hatchlings.
Hatchery visits are short and easy to add to a drive along the coast. Choose a project that releases hatchlings promptly and does not keep turtles in tanks for long, and avoid anywhere that encourages handling.
