Best Beaches in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has a beach to match your every expectation, whether you want long, deserted strips of golden sand fringed by palm trees or lively, surf-pounded strands crammed with bars and seafood stalls
Mirissa
Mirissa beach would have claim enough to feature on your itinerary, with a host of restaurants ready to bring a cold beer to your hammock or a barbecued lobster to tables set up on the golden sand. Factor in its offshore visitors and a stay here becomes pretty much compulsory. In February and March blue whales migrate along the coast, and plenty of whale-watching trips depart from here to see them.
Uppuveli
The wide sandy beaches on Sri Lanka’s east coast aren’t solely the preserve of tourists, and that’s a big part of their appeal. Local fishermen push their colourful wooden boats into the Indian Ocean from the beach just as sun-worshippers set up camp for the day between swaying palms or play volleyball on the white sands. Once the sun sets, all activity switches to the few laid-back beach bars.
Koggala
All along the south coast you’ll spot tall poles sticking out of the surf a few metres from the shore. These belong to Sri Lanka’s stilt fishermen, who once perched on them to reel in their catch. They tend to earn more money from tourists now, accepting a few rupees to clamber up for a photo opportunity, but it is still an evocative sight. Koggala, a curving, boulder-strewn sweep of sand, is a good place to see them.
Nilaveli
The small beach resort of Nilaveli is an excellent place to escape to for a few days, with a broad stretch of white sand lapped by turquoise waters, and a few low-key amenities. It all feels blissfully unspoilt. A prime reason to make the journey here is to take boat trips out to Pigeon Island National Park, with the chance to dive and snorkel among turtles and 300 species of fish over its coral reef.
Hiriketiya
For bohemian surf chic there is only once choice on the south coast: Hiriketiya. “Hiri” has really taken off in recent years, with boutique hotels, craft shops, yoga workshops and cafés serving flat whites and vegan burgers springing up to keep bronzed and buffed surfers entertained when they’re on land. The beautiful beach curves around a sheltered horseshoe bay, making Hiri a great spot for swimming too.
Kosgada
The sight of thousands of newly hatched baby turtles frantically dashing to the ocean is one you’re unlikely to forget. There are many beaches in Sri Lanka where turtles nest, but Kosgada on the west coast is the one to head to for a more organised experience. There’s a small conservation centre and hatchery here, and you can witness the release of baby green sea turtles during hatching season from November to May.
Kalpitiya
Kalpitiya, on the west coast, is an excellent choice if you’d like some water sports with your beach holiday. The sport in question is kite-surfing, and there are plenty of outfitters ready to help you launch across the waves, whatever your experience level. The winds are strongest from May to September. Between November and April, come to see a different life-form enjoying the water: boat trips head out into the ocean to track thousands of dolphins frolicking off shore.
Arugam Bay
If what you crave is some laid-back surf culture, there’s no better place to hang out for a few days than Arugam Bay on the east coast. The breaks here are widely considered to be Sri Lanka’s best, and draw surfers from around the world from April through September. Out of the water, chilled-out bars and restaurants, affordable accommodation and frequent beach parties make the resort a popular place with backpackers.
Talpe
Quieter than many of the resort towns that pepper the south coast, Talpe is that perfect combination of seclusion and accessibility. Exclusive hotels and family-run guesthouses alike sit back from the golden sands of the surf-thrashed beach, hidden among coconut palms and frangipani trees. A big bonus is its proximity to the Dutch colonial town of Galle and the spice plantations of the interior, both just a short tuk-tuk journey away.
Bentota
The well-established west coast resort of Bentota is one of the more popular beaches for families, thanks to the glut of facilities: boutique hotels, restaurants serving fresh seafood and Sri Lankan curries, and activity outfitters offering everything from boat safaris to windsurfing and jet-skiing. The beach is pretty terrific too: a long strip of butter-coloured sand bordered by native flora.
Passikuda
For two incredible beaches for the price of one, book into a hotel at Passikuda. Expect good, safe swimming, with calm shallow waters edging a crescent of white sand dotted with palm trees. There has been development here in recent years, with an emphasis on largely sympathetic, low-rise hotels. Keep walking south along the beach and you’ll arrive at Kalkudah, a similarly blissful tract of sand, but much quieter than its northern neighbour.
Negombo beach, Negombo
A great spot to recuperate from jet lag, or to see out the last day or two of your holiday, Negombo is just a 30-minute taxi ride from the airport at Colombo. Restaurants, souvenir shops and hotels line the wide expanse of sand, and there are multiple options for activities, including snorkelling, windsurfing and boat trips round the lagoon. Be sure to arrive before dusk to secure a spot for a beer or cocktail — the sunsets are particularly spectacular here.
