The province is bordered by Sabaragamuwa Province and Uva Province to the North, Eastern Province to the Northeast, Western Province إلى الشمال الغربي والمحيط الهندي إلى الجنوب والغرب والشرق. عاصمة المحافظة هي گالى.

Ussangoda in Ambalantota is a panoramic view of the beach and the sea, and the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle.

The Southern Province was seriously affected by the tsunami in 2004. The province is going through a rebuilding process.
