Negombo Beach

Negombo

A popular destination for its awesome wide, long & deserted beaches & its proximity to the Capital Colombo & the airport highway. Plenty of water sports are an attraction to this spectacular ‘long beach’. Colonial & Christian influences have left behind numerous pretty monuments & buildings with attractive architecture & grace. A large lagoon, sea, and other waterways enable a substantial catch of fish to supply an increasing demand for seafood by large hotels in Negombo & adjacent settlements.

The Old Dutch Hamilton Canal passing through from the north to the south enables convenient transport of seafood from the very olden days. Still, it is an alternative mode of transport for goods & 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, etc. 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 & suburbs in the neighborhood.
