@Mickael  Thanks. I was looking for friendly advice on different beach locations.  Not looking for any professionals

Go with the Balapitiya Ahungalla area - people are nice and easy to live around.  We had a holiday home for more than 10 years near Ambalangoda, and never had any problems.  It was our home away from home. 

There’s a saying that one shouldn’t even take home a kitten from the areas Matara and further.  People tend to be more aggressive and given to holding grudges.

For good swimming and sunsets you can’t beat Hikkaduwa and Thalpe, if you can find a spot on the reef. 

Rathgama and Dodanduwa also don’t have a great reputation but I have no personal experience to speak of.  Hope this helps.

If I remember it correctly the kitten saying goes like this " One should never take home even a kitten across the Bentota bridge". That means kitten saying applies to even Ahungalla-Balapitiya

Since this is a plan for retirement I would say Dodanduwa Rathgama area because it is closer to one of the best hospitals in SL. And since it is adequate close to the main town of the province Galle probably the chances are higher to get many of the selection criteria of darshanax, however I never have lived for long time in any of the areas mentioned other than staying for one or two nights.             

We live in the dodanduwa area a

@darshanx Seeing how much the SEA Level hast risen in the Last decade, (maybe you know ypsylon in beruwela, which lost nearly the whole beach) my priority would be on beach wide from the sea and sea far from the house.

Trust me, beautiful sunsets after a year I got blassee so I would rate IT least priority.

Aß soon aß you get Close to a decision, check your beaches in question on a sunday or Public holiday. Only then can you judge how crowded They get, and HOW MUCH RUBBISH the 1day visitors leave.

My English autocorrection is doggy,sorry.

All the best, Helga

@Bimmsje  belated thanks...! Much appreciated
