    Negombo Beach in Sri Lanka is a coastal gem that captivates visitors with its pristine beauty and vibrant atmosphere. Stretching along the western coast, this sun-kissed haven boasts golden sands, inviting azure waters, and a sense of tranquility that envelops every visitor. The beach is not just a picturesque escape but a cultural melting pot. Stroll along the shore, and you'll encounter local fishermen skillfully casting their nets, adding an authentic touch to the scenery. The bustling fish market nearby offers a glimpse into the livelihood of the coastal communities, with the catch of the day on display. Sunsets at Negombo Beach are nothing short of magical. The horizon transforms into a canvas painted with hues of orange and pink, creating a breathtaking spectacle. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting its warm glow, it provides an ideal backdrop for romantic walks along the water's edge. The beach is lined with an array of charming cafes and seafood restaurants, offering a delightful blend of local and international cuisine. Indulge in freshly caught seafood while enjoying the sea breeze—a sensory experience that adds to the overall allure of Negombo Beach. Whether you seek relaxation, cultural immersion, or culinary delights, Negombo Beach offers a well-rounded experience. Its natural beauty and cultural richness make it a must-visit destination, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to explore its shores.

    The view over Negombo beach is wonderful. It is a wide beach, brown, used by tourists and locals alike. Evening walks along the beach were so peaceful. Beach is well cleaned. The sunset over the sea from Negombo beach is well worth seeing. When I visit, it was not crowded. Be careful and enjoy. And also don't pollute the beach please protect it.

    Pretty nice place. Clean, warm, sometimes windy. Perfect place to watch the sunset. Pretty romantic after dusk. There are a few cafe's and restaurants with ocean view. Some fast food stalls. Also several salesman walking around offering their goods (not too annoying though). Beach is not for swimming!

    Only an hour from Colombo, not far from the airport, Negombo has a cool little village atmosphere. Catering to tourists, the beach has a shoreline dotted with restaurants and tiny shops selling handicrafts. There are also bands and musicians playing along the beach, adding to the lively vibe. The beach is wide and flat, with beach chair and umbrella rentals available from enterprising locals. You can find every kind of water sport imaginable here, both rentals and lessons. Be careful; the sea here can be rough for swimming and has strong currents. Waterland is an excellent resort near the beach that offers private villas with private pools and a dining barge where guests can enjoy a 360-degree view of the water

    It was quite busy when we visited. It’s a pretty long beach where you can just sit around, play sports including water sports, but I wouldn’t recommend swimming here since the waves were very strong. Too many people selling stuff while you’re sitting there, couldn’t really relax. Even so, you should definitely spend time watching the sunset, it’s worth it!

    This is an ecstatic beach to enjoy the sunset in the evening. There is a parking fee for vehicles, but if you just walk, the entrance is totally free. The beach is wide and has ample space. You will find a lot of sellers selling Isso wade. It easily becomes crowded on evenings, specially during weekends.

    A very beautiful, long, scenic public beach. Very clean. There are vendors selling accessories, beach cover ups, beach dresses etc which are quite nice. There are also people offering catamaran fishing boat rides which they charge on hourly basis. But this beach is very chilled, vast and perfect to tan and relax.

    You’re going to get lots of rubbish and harassment if you walk here. I think nobody cleaned the beach since Covid started and tourists disappeared.

    The gorgeous island of Sri Lanka is home to some of the world’s most stunning beaches. If you are looking for a holiday where you can spend days lazing around on sandy golden beaches with shimmering blue waters, then you are in for a treat! The best place in Sri Lanka to visit to enjoy its beaches is Negombo, which is located just 15 minutes away from the Bandaranaike International Airport. Negombo beaches attract visitors from across the country as well as the globe. Before you leave for your trip, learn a little more about the best things to do while you are in the little coastal town affectionately called the “Little Rome” of Sri Lanka. One of the best beaches in Negombo is Browns Beach. It is open 24 hours so you can go for an early morning stroll to watch the sunrise or take a romantic evening walk at sunset. Browns Beach in Negombo is also an amazing place if you are in the mood for a midnight swim. It is popular among tourists and locals alike, and it is easy to see why. You can have fun on this awesome beach with loads of exciting activities like kite surfing, sailing, windsurfing and more. If you want to take a break from the sand and surf, you can explore the many stores and little shops nearby and find little treasures to take back home as gifts and souvenirs.

    (Translated by Google) This is not a beach to relax .... Anyone who has traveled Sri Lanke will definitely not be happy here. The water smells extremely fishy, ​​very salty and dirty. Every 200-400m you can see sewers that open into the sea. Here we have our experience with the obtrusive beach vendors received. Prices in the bars on the beach are very high, compared to what we had in the last two weeks in Sri Lanka. (Original) Das ist kein Strand zum Erholen.... wer Sri Lanke bereist hat, wird hier definitiv nicht Glücklich. Das Wasser riecht extrem nach Fisch, sehr salzig und schmutzig. Alle 200-400m sind Abwasserkanäle zu sehen, die in das Meer münden. Hier haben wir unsere Erfahrung mit den penetranten Strandverkäufern erhalten. Preise in den Bars am Strand sind sehr hoch, im Vergleich, was wir sonst in den letzten zwei Wochen auf Sri Lanka hatten.

    Very nice beach, long and wide. It is not bad but Mayor should pay someone to clean it or ask hotel to clean the part in front of their buildings. Considering the number of hotels I bet it is doable easily.

  • 5/5 Kusal S. 2 years ago on Google
    Why not give a five-star review to a creation of nature. Best place to watch golden sky kissing the nude ocean. Nice spot to spend the evening time in Negombo. 🇱🇰

    Extremely hot during the day. Many crowds making crazy noise along the beach and many seller tried to talk to me to sell their stuff. Nothing much interesting, the beach look just OK. This place look a lot better during sunset with beautiful sky and you might meet some new friends 🐶 along the beach

  • 5/5 Anonymous R. 6 months ago on Google
    As a beach lover it is one of the best beaches I have visited. It was already beyond sunset, so couldn't check if the water was very clean. But the beach was clean. There are snacks vendors and ice cream stalls, but couldn't find any tea shops.

    (Translated by Google) Quiet beach, but a lot of waste. There are restaurants that are happy to do something about this. The sea is dangerous so don't swim but enjoy the view. Few nice eateries but the ones that are there are also very nice and cozy. (Original) Rustig strand, wel veel afval. Er zijn restaurantjes die hier gelukkig iets aan doen. De zee is gevaarlijk dus niet zwemmen maar genieten van het uitzicht. Weinig leuke eettentjes maar de tentjes die er zijn, zijn ook heel leuk en gezellig.

    It's alright. We have been there in march and it wasn't that crowded, maybe a pandemic problem. Sand is hot, water is warm and not dirty. Plenty of space to walk along the beach for several hours i guess. Make sure to have sun protection because there are no trees to take shelter, the beach is pretty empty.

    (Translated by Google) Beach non-gombo for lovers just to lie on the beach and jump in the waves. The water is constantly muddy due to the presence of clay and chromite in the sand. The item is lame dark, in some places a black shade of sand. There were 3 days here. (Original) Пляж негомбо для любителей просто поваляться на пляже и попрыгать в волнах.
