Destination introduction
One of Sri Lanka's most popular beach destinations, Negombo offers swathes of sandy beach convenient for the airport, but appreciably removed from any disruption caused.
Take a stroll along the coast and feel the sand beneath your toes, wander into town and visit one of the local shops, bars or small restaurants and simply relax. Watch fishermen set out on outrigger canoes or ‘oruwa’, their large sails billowing in the sea breeze, before their freshly caught tuna, marlin, shark, barracuda, swordfish, prawns, crabs and lobster are sold at the town’s fantastic fish market.
Negombo has many pretty Roman Catholic churches, earning it the moniker ‘Little Rome’. This picturesque fishing town has a rich heritage – prized for its cinnamon, the Dutch transformed it into an important port in the 1600s and it still retains its colonial charm.
Negombo Holiday Highlights - Try thrilling watersports including wake-boarding, kite-surfing and waterskiing – or dive among coral reefs and an old shipwreck.
- Take an excursion to Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage and see babies being bottle fed – our Personal Travel Experts can easily book this for you.
