Negombo Beach

The beach of Negombo is situated 37km from Colombo to north. It is a paradise for seafoods. There's much more in Negombo than just a sandy stretch of beach, where much history has been witnessed. During the period of time when Dutch were ruling the coastal areas of Sri Lanka, a fort, a canal and many a church was built and cinnamon cultivation took high priority. Remanents of these adorn the beach of Negombo along with fishing villages, which are sprinkled in the area.
