The southern coast of Sri Lanka: true paradise

e
 Legions of stories and books have been  written waxing poetic about Sri Lanka's fabled coast.  It is beautiful and unspoilt  (mostly) but pristine is not something one can easily find in our climate changing world.  A lot of the 
coral reefs are degraded and third world does not yet have the consciousness of throwing garbage in a designated receptacle; garbage,plastic,wrappers are thrown Every Where.

I did find myself relaxing after the rigors of working the Galle Music Festival on a lovely stretch of beach: Mirissa.  Small and uncomplicated and intoxicating..... because of its gentle nature, beautiful climate of heat and breeze and very very clean water.  Lots of surfers too.  This is where I had my injury; I am still dealing with the pain two months later.
But i should have stayed in the protected cove of Mirissa, where the surf was always calm..... but i ventured down that beckoning beach.......
