About Negombo

The Negombo beaches are splendid beyond comparison, ideal to simply while away the time as you are rejuvenated by the fresh salty breeze. Enjoying a beautiful sunset as you loll on the sandy shores of the Negombo beaches with a glass of champagne in hand is a phenomenal experience.

One of the main Negombo attractions is the Old Dutch Fort, close to the sea-front and near the lagoon area. The Dutch Fort has a beautiful gateway with the date 1678 inscribed, but the structure is now occupied by the local prison. The Dutch also displayed their love for canals in Negombo more than in any other city, in establishing a fantastic system of canals running through a distance of about 120km. The Angurukaamulla temple and St. Mary’s church too are magnificent structures in Negombo worth seeing.
