Negombo
Overview

Just a short drive from the capital Colombo, Negombo is the closest beach destination to the airport, and hence a popular choice with holidaymakers and also locals taking a bit of a rest from the busyness of city life.

 

The wide sandy beach at Negombo is a great place to relax and unwind after a long flight, or perhaps a full day sightseeing in Sri Lanka’s capital city of Colombo

Getting Around

Just 10 minutes from the international airport in Colombo, the best way to reach Negombo is by taxi. Once you are there, you should be able to access all of the bars, restaurants and shops on foot, but there will be many tuk-tuk drivers around willing to take you anywhere you wish.
