Negombo Beach
A popular destination for its awesome, tantalizing, and warm surf, Negombo Beach Sri Lanka offers a wide, long, and deserted shoreline perfect for getting horizontal, kicking back, relaxing, and unwinding. Its proximity to the Blue Lagoon, seafood restaurants, the capital Colombo, and the airport highway makes it even more attractive. Plenty of water sports are an attraction to this mesmerizing ‘long beach’ of the west coast.
Colonial and Christian influences have left behind numerous pretty monuments and buildings designed with attractive architecture and grace, matching the architecture of the entangled culture of the resplendent isle. The large blue lagoon, blue-green sea, estuaries, and creeks, as well as brooks and streams, enable a substantial catch of fish to supply the increasing demand for seafood by large hotels in Negombo, its suburbs, and adjacent settlements. Negombo Beach Sri Lanka is a prime location where these influences and natural resources come together, offering a unique blend of cultural and coastal experiences.
The Old Dutch Hamilton Canal passing through from the north to the south enabled convenient transport of seafood from the very olden days. Still, it is an alternative mode of transport for goods, seafood & people, especially when the highways get jammed.
Negombo Dutch Fort, St. Mary’s Cathedral, Guruge Water Park, Morawala Pebble Beach, St. Sebastian’s Church, St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Bird Watching at Muthurajawela Marsh Estuary, Hamilton Canal, Fish Market, Bodhiraja Temple, Blue Lagoon, and more are some of the main attractions in Negombo to visit. A busy fishing harbour with its hive of activity offers a wide variety of fish and other seafood to town and suburbs in the neighbourhood. Negombo Beach Sri Lanka also adds to the charm of this vibrant coastal town, providing beautiful vistas and a relaxing atmosphere.
