Want to be right at the beach and feel the sand after your arrival? Then Negombo is there up for grabbing which will make it count. The beaches have much more to offer than mere sand. With loads of decent hotels and restaurants, Negombo ticks all your boxes to begin your trip with a bang.

You will love Muthurajawela Marsh, a great biodiversity spot, which is a nice gateway from the noisy Negombo-Colombo road. A cheap boat ride along the marsh, plenty of unique birds and water monitors can be seen. This should be a must in your itinerary. That elegant Old Dutch channel where the trip starts drags us back to ages, the canal ride passages into the beautiful mangroves. Make sure not to blink your eyes often and keep sharp to catch the entire hidden gem out there. The setting of this marsh is quite delightful. The trip is well worth a couple of hours of your time. Fresh watermelon and pineapple will be served along the way.

Visiting Negombo is not complete without stopping over in alluring beaches. Walking on Negombo beach and feeling the warm breeze is the next hit list for a spectacular day with refreshed soul and to explore more.

Are you a fish lover? Then Main Fish Market is your place to a fine sight. The scene of watching out for fishermen heading back with a huge smile after their catches requires you to move out of the bed early at 6 am. Of course, the fish market is a smelly happening, but well worth it to forego some pool time.  

If you believe in the existence of divinity, St. Mary’s Church is a peaceful place to heal your soul. It’s a beautiful church with picture perfect paintings.

There are no shortages for Hotels and Eateries. Eco-friendly 5 star Jetwing Blue resort features 2 splendid outdoor pools located right on the beach and many. The rooms are oriented for a breathtaking oceanic view with the warm ocean breeze in private balcony. It’s surrounded by local eateries as well. A wide variety of international dishes is served with refreshing beverages available at the bar where you will struggle for choices because of its abundance.
