Beaches Sri Lanka, blessed with over a thousand miles of beautiful golden beaches fringed with coconut palms is an ideal place for a beach holiday. The western and southern coast beaches begin from Negombo, 13kms north of Colombo and curves south along the coastline for over 200Kms. The eastern and northern coast beaches stretches north in a gentle arc from Arugam Bay till Kuchchaveli approximately 275kms up on the eastern coastline.
Fine beaches, typically wide stretches of sand and what seems like miles of clear, shallow water, pretty bays and coves, deep natural harbours, still lagoons and underwater coral gardens. There is a wide choice, not only of locations, but of quality and price. The food is cosmopolitan. Of course, sea food is fresh and plentiful and most hotels innovate creatively with the wide variety available. There is a fairly extensive choice between spicy Sri Lankan food and standard international fare. An abundance of local tropical fruit and fruit juices is an essential feature of the buffet table
