Tangalle town itself is situated just back from a "projecting rock" from which, it is said, the town’s name Tangalle is derived. The town, in spite of being beside the bay, fishing harbour & busy market has a relaxed atmosphere with some reminders of Dutch days, including the Rest House. It's one of the oldest rest houses in the Sri Lanka, originally built, as a plaque on the front steps indicates, by the Dutch in 1774. For its size, the town has a relaxed atmosphere with a busy market & many reminders of the Dutch heritage.
