Tall limestone cliffs rise steeply from the sand, and fantastically shaped sea stacks modelled by erosion, stand close to the mainland. The incredible geologic formations on the red cliff headland include soaring sea cliffs, arches and many more sea stacks peppering the surf.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"m_-2429754687436903146Picture_x0020_2\" class=\"CToWUd a6T\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0?ui=2&amp;ik=eb17a64bff&amp;attid=0.3&amp;permmsgid=msg-f:1679615665796460438&amp;th=174f318c8efaaf96&amp;view=fimg&amp;sz=s0-l75-ft&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ9JILVUHPKuR9rjzhNkomOPd88BrmJ25PbaVnjssiLpinNffkg4DhtGR4BrLsf4IGwBqfKdZscN_5bRTTS-N3KWk9aDacU8i3xV_-bjQHQPyP09cQzUOvDV0oY&amp;disp=emb\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.sundayobserver.lk\/sites\/default\/files\/news\/2020\/10\/03\/z_p35-Ussangoda4.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"177\" border=\"0\" data-image-whitelisted=\"\" \/>A narrow road leads towards the sea, taking you through villages and banana plantations before opening out into vistas of turquoise water and idyllic bays. Just before Nonagama, on the Matara \u2013 Hambantota road is a sign directing to Ussangoda. A small rutted road through banana plantations leads to the beach of Welipatanvila, an important fishing area where locals still practise traditional beach fishery.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As you approach the beach, another turn to the right through scrub and village homesteads leads to a flat open plateau with scattered patches of scrub forest and exposed red earth. This is Ussangoda, a place known for its mythology, archaeological importance and biodiversity. A tourist attraction once, it is now badly neglected.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Fantastic view<\/strong><u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A dirt track across the park covering an area of around 100 hectares of land heads through stunted scrub forest to another smaller open plain portraying a fantastic view of the sea, with sweeping bays to the left and the right. At the seaward edge of the plains is an eroded cliff that drops down to the sea.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The geological origin of Ussangoda is shrouded in mystery, but the general belief is that it is the remnant of an ancient meteor or an area in close proximity to a meteor hit. The rationale behind this thinking has been the unique red soil in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50905 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ussangoda-beach-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ussangoda beach\" width=\"360\" height=\"1046\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The soil contains high levels of iron and other minerals that give it its unique reddish hue, thus preventing the growth of any vegetation. Pre-historic human remains were discovered here some time ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Ussangoda is also linked to several mythological characters of Sri Lanka\u2019s history. Villagers claim this to be the landing place of the mythical King Ravana who is synonymous with Hindu mythology and according to folklore piloted his peacock chariot the \u2018Dadumonara\u2019 across the skies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The unique habitat of Ussangoda is home to a variety of animals. Dry Zone birds and some reptiles are a common sight here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Unique habitat<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The beaches sweeping east to Welipatanvila and west to Lunama are nesting grounds for five species of endangered marine turtles. The beaches from Welipatanvila to Godawaya are probably the most important nestling site for the leatherback sea turtle in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Birds are active at this time giving nature lovers an opportunity to spot many Dry Zone species. Situated by the sea with no natural wind-breaks, the area is windblown and only cactus-like plants such as Karamba, Pathok and Eraminiya plants from the adjoining Kalametiya Sanctuary seem to withstand the salinity and dry conditions that prevail here. Erosion is also badly affecting the boundaries of the park and the sea is gradually washing away the land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Near the water\u2019s edge, the strong waves have eroded parts of the cliff, creating interesting rock formations. Isolated rocks stand out like sentinels, casting shadows across the beach, standing tall to face the constant pounding of the incessant waves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The best time of the day to visit Ussangoda is close to sunset when the setting sun illuminates the earth in brilliant hues of red and orange. When you travel to Hambantota in the Southern Province, Ussangoda is a must place to visit in your list of destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nature\u2019s wonder of Nature\u2019s wonder of Ussangoda- by Mahil Wijesinghe Weather beaten limestone boulders, a striking feature at the Ussangoda beach Source:Sundayobserver Beyond Tangalla, the coastal road heads inland depriving visitors of the scenic views freely available until then.
