The Rekawa turtle conservation project is a marine turtle conservation site that aims at protecting the sea turtles that visit the coastline. As Sri Lanka’s beaches attract 5 out of the 7 endangered turtle species, it became imperative to safeguard the nesting sites and aid in the conservation of the species. The main species that visit the golden shores of the island to nest and lay their eggs and are under conservation are the Loggerhead, Green, Hawksbill, Olive Ridley and the Leatherback turtle.
The best season to do the turtle watching in Rekawa from January–August and month of March is the best month in Tangalle turtle watching.
