Tangalle, (pronounced Tan-Gaul), is a pretty sleepy place on the south coast and we are staying at Cinnabar Resort, beautifully designed with a rustic laid back feel to it. Here is our first view of the sea as we checked-in.


There are treehouses here …


…but we opted for a cabana which was perfect, complete with a little patio, fishpond and deckchairs.



Everywhere is beautifully swept and raked, with fresh flowers daily.




The restaurant is right by the beach …

… and is magical in the evening with candles and cocktail happy hour. Chris has sampled the pizza and I’ve had fish each night – a nice change from rice and curry!

In the day the sun is strong, and while there are loungers on the beach, there is little shade till later, but there are still hammocks and beanbags for relaxation in the shade.

The beach isn’t suitable for swimming by the guesthouse, although if looks lovely and the waves breaking have provided a constant soundtrack to our stay here. Further down the beach is safer, but there is still a massive undertow which can sweep you off your feet – which it did to me twice!

We did take a walk into town to visit the ATM, and while there I bought a souvenir … a pan to make egg hoppers … so that will be a project when we get home! Also noticed that while we know Singer as a sewing machine company …

…here it has expanded into so much more, selling all sorts of household items branded Singer … surprised its not called Curry’s!



On our last morning, I went for a walk before breakfast …



… and even saw a croc in the lagoon!



Anyway, we have been very lazy, just catching up with our reading and enjoying being by the sea and it has been lovely …

… but time to move on!
Gorgeous beach!
