Shady Palms
About
On Sri Lanka, Shady Palms sits at 73 Medaketiya Rd in Tangalle, a south-coast town where the road runs close to the beach. Diners know the restaurant for its easy-going setting and its position on one of Tangalle's main streets. First-time visitors should expect a relaxed meal in a town that draws travellers along the southern coast.
Seventy-one reviewers have scored the venue 4.7 out of 5, a strong showing for a restaurant in this part of the island. Tangalle is straightforward to reach from Galle and Mirissa along the coastal road, and travellers coming from Colombo, Negombo, Bentota, Unawatuna or Arugam Bay usually arrive by the same route.
Sri Lanka has an extensive railway network, and the hill-country line from Kandy to Ella is popular with visitors, though the south coast is served mainly by road. The restaurant keeps its place on Medaketiya Rd, within the town itself.
Sri Lanka's monsoon pattern splits the year: the southwest monsoon brings rain from about May to September, while the northeast monsoon runs from October to January. Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards live in the island's national parks, including Yala and Wilpattu. Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in Sri Lanka, and Adam's Peak is a pilgrimage site climbed in season.
