It's was a beautiful beach. Very fine sand and low gradient. We spent only 3 hrs here but kids loved swimming in the sea. There is a kids playing area nearby and an ice cream shop.

We stayed at The Surf, Bentota with rooms that opened directly onto the beach via a well manicured lawn. Beautiful views of the waters, breathtaking sunset views and nice sand and surf. We had a great two days and will hopefully return back sometime soon. Very Clean, beautiful beach where the waves are reasonable mostly, so swimming and bathing is easy. Good straight stroll possible. So many resorts and hotels in the beach front

Bentota is a coastal town in Sri Lanka, located in the Galle District of the Southern Province, governed by an Urban Council. It is approximately 65 kilometres (40 mi) south of Colombo and 56 kilometres (35 mi) north of Galle. Bentota is situated on the southern bank of the Bentota River mouth, at an elevation of 3 metres (9.8 ft) above the sea level. The name of the town is derived from a mythical story which claims a demon named 'Bem' ruled the tota or river bank. Bentota is a tourist attraction, with a local airport (Bentota River Airport) and a handful of world-class hotels. It is a destination for watersports. Bentota also delivers an ancient art of healing called Ayurveda. Bentota is famous for its toddy production, an alcoholic beverage made out of coconut nectar. It also has a turtle hatchery, located on Induruwa beach. Bentota is a historical place described in ancient messenger poems (sandeśa kāvya). The Galapatha Viharaya is one of a cluster of five ancient temples in the region.[1] In the 17th Century the Portuguese built a small fort at the mouth of the Bentota River (Bentara Ganga), which in Sinhala was called Parangi Kotuwa, meaning the fort of the Portuguese. The river marked the southern extremity of Portuguese held territory in Sri Lanka. The Dutch subsequently allowed the fort to fall into disrepair, converting one of the large buildings within the fort into a colonial rest house for Dutch Officers travelling between Colombo and Galle. The British subsequently converted the rest house into a coastal sanatorium. Sir James Emerson Tennent (1804-1869), the colonial secretary of Ceylon (1845-1850) in his book, Ceylon, An Account of the Island (1859), stated that the rest house at Bentota, situated within a little park, deeply shaded by lofty Tamarind trees on the point of the beach where the river forms its junction with the sea, is one of the coolest and most agreeable in Ceylon. The British introduced the railway in the early 19th century, mainly to transport the coconut produce from the deep south to the capital, building a permanent bridge (Bentota Palama) to cross the river.

Bentota is a popular resort town, only an hour from Colombo. It sees many package tourists but retains its spectacular natural beauty and is worth a visit. The sand is bright white on this wide beach, and the sea is bright aqua-blue due to its light-colored sandy bottom. The beach is surrounded by jungle and tall palm trees. Nearby attractions include many temples and remnants of the country's colonial past, like a fort protecting the old harbor of Galle.

Spent a wonderful evening here. What a place to visit. Very beautiful beach with great environment. I also prescribe this place for bathing. A very nice scene to witness here at the evening. 😍🏖

Beautiful ❤️

Heavenly beautiful. White warm sands and lovely sea breeze make it a lovely holiday destination to chill and relax. A must visit in Bentota. The local shopkeepers are greedy though and unpleasant.

Most beautiful beach in Sri Lanka. Happy to be there.

Wow Excellent One of the most Beautiful beach

Amazing and quit place Love it 😍

this was extraordinary In Love with every thing hello hi this resort was extraordinary best place I've ever been to I lived on the beach in the sand forever I want to die here😀😇😁❤🐙🌅

Good beach. Very gentle entry into the water. finely. Safe for children. You can safely jump on the waves. There are several volleyball courts. Along the beach there is a path where you can walk, jog or ride a bike.

This is the widest beach in western province. And this beach is very different than other beaches in western province. Because the sand is very soft and untouched. (In other beaches, government put dangerous rocks to prevent erosions). There was no specific entrance to get into the beach. You have to walk through the children’s park to reach it. I am recommending to go in morning or evening. Because there are no trees to protect your skin from sunlight.

About 1 .30 hour train journey Colombo to Ventura we reach this beach . We want to walk some far but that also good experience for us there is many beautiful scenery we took lot of photos.beach is very clean and attractive manor. There are many stone in the side of the she it very beautiful.water is very clean and good to bath.this place many interesting things are available the balloon flying ,sun bath , sitting tables and other things are available here .

Beautiful beach with clean and clear water. Enjoyed a lot on this beach. Lots foreigners are here. Shower facility provided at LRK 30 per person. Small eat out place with coffee and snacks is available.

The white sandy beach with its powdery soft texture and crystal-clear waters creates an enchanting and serene environment, inviting visitors to bask in the tranquility and embrace the natural beauty that stretches before them. Highly recommended here if you are travelling towards Bentota !

Most beautiful beach in Sri Lanka. There is wide beach to see us. Come to Bentota beach and enjoy

One of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. There are also a large number of hotels where you can stay nearby. A place that has gained great tourist attraction. There is also a children's park nearby where the little ones can enjoy themselves. There are really no words to describe its beauty

One of the best and clean beach to enjoy with ur kids. Good hotels with great view also there. 🥰

Typical lk beach with well made outdoor play spot 😍👌

What a great beach. Very beautiful.

One of the amazing beaches. Crystal water, white smoothy sands. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the beach side. It’s safes beach you can swim anything early morning , morning, afternoon , evening or even midnight. People is very kind, helpful and easygoing .

Really nice views of sunset from the beach. Really good restaurants around the beach for lunch and dinner.

An extraordinary experience amidst an ordinary setup lies 65 kilometres from Colombo and is named Bentota beach. Soak yourself in the ordinary golden sand while enjoying the marvellous sound of the mighty Indian Ocean crashing against the shores. The mesmerizing view of the sea will leave you speechless. If you are planning to break the monotony of the routine just try your hands at adventure sports found alongside the palm trees. Highlights: You can visit Kasgoda Turtle Hatchery and also go on a boat cruise on the Bentota River. Getting there: Bentota is very well connected with the cities and is very easily accessible. You can ride from Galle or you can take a ride from Colombo. Bentota is approximately 101km south of the airport from Colombo

It was a awesome experience.....

Good.

Water was completely sanded out. I couldn't even see the sea floor. Maybe I was unlucky to visit in September. But the water is definitely not clear. Plenty of places renting snorkels and surfboards.

Lovely beach. Neat n clean.

Bentota beach is excellent for relaxing, it has a lot of nature, there are no noisy or ugly restaurants, the beach and the water are clean, it is one of the best beaches in Sri-lanka, the places are a bit expensive, but it is also very very Quiet where you can relax

Clean and pretty beach with lots of places to chill.

Beautiful beach 🏖 enjoyed my daily walks along this beach 🥰

Not worth the visit in the humit time. We are visiting in August and there is a lot of wind and the sea is quite agressive at that time. Better come in the better season

Beautiful clean beach

Dirty and smelly beach. Sri Lanka is not the place to go for nice beaches if this is the “cleanest” beach they have Trash everywhere, hotels not cleaning their beach fronts, and shady people approaching you everywhere to sell stuff/tours

It's nice long beach, golden sands, blue water, but there are garbage in some spot, need to clean it up more.

Very beautiful beach.... Peaceful, clean water,good waves... You can definitely enjoy me time here...

One of nicest beaches in Sri Lanka. Loved the jet ski ride.

It's so beautiful & clean.But it is crowded in these days with foreigners & locals.

Peaceful environment for a relaxing day. Enjoyed my Holiday in here😍

Nice pace like to visit

Superb and very beautiful beach 🏖. I never seen b4 like this beautiful and very clean beach. Really amazing. Sea level also are in sea sore level.

Beach that is both clean and expansive. Not overrun with hawkers and other types of peddlers who are a nuisance. If you keep a keen eye out, you might be able to spot a turtle now and then. The early, before nine in the morning, is the most peaceful and calm time to wade in, so that's when you should do it if you can.

Well we only saw this beach from the train to Colombo from Galle. But all the way we had wonderful views of the ocean and villages literally clinging between the beaches and the ocean.

Very Clean and Not so crowded beach

Great place to visit, beach is so clean and water is clear

Beautiful and peaceful beach where you can buy delicious ice cream for good price

Super place

Good place to swim

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful beach in Sri Lanka. A plus There are very few people. It is important because other beaches are overloaded with local people and tourists. Very beautiful fine sand and flowers like bindweed. There is no garbage at all. There is a paddling pool for children. You can fly on small aircraft. Beautiful sunsets. Many people come. But there are all the places equal to a lot. You can take sun loungers for 1000 rupees per day Minuses Waves. But he is everywhere. Annoying sellers and helpers. Sand fleas. If you have ever been bitten by fleas and ticks, be sure to smear a child. And yourself and towels. Otherwise, after a few days you will be covered in abscesses and find out what hell is. But despite the hellish scratches, it goes away after a week. There are no drugs. (Original) Самый красивый пляж на Шри-Ланке. Плюс Очень мало людей.Что важно так как другие пляжи перегружены местным населением и туристами.Очень красивый мелкий песок и цветы вроде вьюнки.Мусора нет совсем.Есть лягушатник для детей.Можно полетать на малой авиации.Красивые закаты.Приходит много людей.Но места все равно очень много. Можно взять шезлонги по 1000 рупий в день Минусы Волны.Но он тут везде. Надоедливые продавцы и помогайки. Песчаные блохи.Если вас когда либо кусали блохи и клещи обязательно мажьтесь дэтой .И себя и полотенца.Иначе через несколько дней вы покроетесь нарывами и узнаете что такое ад.Но несмотря на адские почесушки проходит само через неделю.Лекарств нет.

Calm and peaceful place, I Visited during covid period to have peace and it was worth to go here. So many resorts on beach side, just have small walk or deive resorts back side close to beach.

Good

Good

We went there in Morning. The sun was less brighter than other days because of the clouds, but after few hours it totally changes to a full sunny mode. Anyway the sea was awesome, good looking, Could see through the water. There wasnt much waves that day. So it wasnt good for surfing. But then i saw there were so many water-air-activities there. We had a great time there. The beach was not polluted so keep it clean.

beautiful nature

Bentota has a very beautiful and scenic beach. You love to spend your evenings here. The coast line is huge and there are a plenty of hotels including few big ones. We were staying at the Taj and accessed the beach a few times. Sand is clean and one can enjoy a walk or swim here. There is some issue with the locals as you are forced to pay for sun beds.

Entry to the beach is just beside the Taj resort entrance, you will have to cross the Taj property lawn. Beach is very clean with clear water and less crowd. I would recommend this beach for families. Enjoyed evening walk with very less people around which gave a private beach feel. Not sure if is always this peaceful. There are some big rocks with tress if you are looking some shade during afternoons.

Good quality. Place

It's nice beach 🏖️ ⛱️

Bentota famous for its water sports . Miss you Sri Lanka … soon will visit again

It so beautiful in morning and evenings. Yeah i know the beaches are beautiful at that time. But its marvellous.
