Water shapes the geography and lifestyle of Galle. - **The Indian Ocean / Laccadive Sea:** Galle sits on the southwestern coast, heavily influenced by maritime trade and the coastal ecosystem. - **Gin Ganga (River):** This significant river flows through the Galle District before emptying into the Indian Ocean at Ginthota, just north of the city. - **Koggala Lake:** Situated a short drive from Galle, this expansive coastal lake is dotted with small islands (including an island famous for its cinnamon cultivation) and is a popular spot for boat safaris.
