We are going with a guy, the hotel in this village turned out to be the most affordable for the price) , but I would like to understand what else can be done there?

Just returned from Koggale. The village you are asking about, as I understand it, is located between Unawatuna and Koggale. In principle, if you use a tuk-tuk (and it’s quite difficult to move around in another way), then a lot of “entertainment” is 15 minutes away. ride.
In the village itself (in my opinion we are talking about the same thing) there is a mini-supermarket (there are two of them - choose more for shopping with cash registers - it will be cheaper), a mini-market, a German restaurant on the ocean, a bus station. There is also a turtle farm nearby.
To the beaches of Unawatuna - 10-15 minutes drive, to the Jungle Beach lagoon - 20 minutes, towards Matara (30-35 minutes drive) - surfing.
For shopping it is better to go to Galle (20 minutes). We bought in their Rich Look store and in the shops that are nearby. Checked - cheaper than in shops on the way to the Unawatuna lagoon. Also in Galle you can (NECESSARY!) see their fort built by the Portuguese.
Koggala has a big lake with islands that have a mini-temple, a monks' school, a spice island, and jungle, jungle...
An hour drive is the city of Matara. There is a beautiful Buddha temple with tunnels and a statue above 30m. There is also a lighthouse and an elephant nursery (you can ride).

There taxi drivers on tuk-tuks are nimble. They are also tour guides. They will advise, take you where you need and bring you. Prabat hangs out outside the Insight hotel. Normal guy.
