Getting to and from Weligama

The bay at Weligama is wide, shallow and lined by the old coast road, which carries all the traffic because the expressway gives out well short of it at Matara. That road is busy with fishing lorries at first light and with school traffic through the middle of the morning, and it slows through every town on the way. Arriving from the airport, most of the journey is quick and the last part is not, which is worth allowing for when a flight lands late.

Arranging a pickup

Surf schools and guesthouses run along the beach side of the road and several share a postal address with one another, so a landmark helps more here than a number. The stilt fishing posts are a recognised meeting point and every driver knows where they stand.

Yes, and it is one of the routes most often booked from here. Give the flight number and the driver tracks it, so an early departure or a delayed landing is planned around rather than charged for.
