Overview

The Kosgoda Turtle Conservation Center is a safe haven for sea turtles along Sri Lanka’s southern coast. This volunteer-run project helps protect endangered species like green turtles, hawksbills, and olive ridleys.

Visitors can learn about each species and watch how eggs are safely relocated to protected hatcheries. If you visit at the right time, you may even release baby turtles into the sea—a truly heartwarming moment.

The center raises awareness and supports long-term marine conservation. It’s a meaningful stop that blends education, wildlife care, and community spirit.

A must-visit for animal lovers and eco-conscious travelers.
