    Crow Island Beach Park is a family-friendly recreational beach park situated in Colombo 15. The park was opened to the public on April 2016 and borders the mouth of the Kelani River. The parks boasts of mangroves, marshes and coastal vegetation. It is a great place to relax, have a walk and enjoy with many restaurants, walking tracks and cycling tracks. Although the Crow Island Beach Park is open all day long it is ideal to visit it between 06:00 am and 05:00 pm. Visitors spend an average of 1 hour at the beach park although some stay on to enjoy the time in the park much longer than that. Apart from the features of a regular beach park, Crow Island Beach Park also has a variety of other features such as a playground, childrenโ€™s play area, shops and restaurants selling toys, snacks, beverages, food, etc., a timber deck over the sea, mangrove, fresh water lake, walking tracks, bicycle tracks, etc. Visitors can also get a glimpse of the Colombo Harbour from this location.

    To be frank, I won't list this as an amazing or must-visit beach park, but it is a nice place to get relaxed and have a walk. The park spread over a large area. You will find many things there, such as, play ground, children's play area, number of shops and restaurants (toys, snacks, beverages, food, etc.), timber deck over sea, mangrove, fresh water lake, walking tracks, bicycle tracks, etc. Another interesting thing is, Colombo harbour can be seen from their partially. Ships can be clearly seen coming in and going out. If you are nearby, this is a good place to spend an evening. Parking spaces are available more than enough here

    Very crowded on weekends and evenings. Be aware of mosquitos in the evening, it's the worst. Beautiful beach, good place to relax and unwind, but need to find a place where its less crowded. Easy to reach and accessible for the public.

    We went there for a beach clean up project. There were so many trash on the beach. Not good for swim there. Totally trash the beach. Don't pollute the beach again. It's our right to protect them. However the park next to the beach is good for going to be relax and there's a group to play also.

    The place was renovated recently. The best beach park in srilanka . Best place to do your morning walks and exercise.A separate cycle track is also available. A nice sea view with ships around and port city development is visible. Mostly local community visits.Very good place to spend some time with friends and family. Good place to jog and Exercise too. But the sea is very unhygienic. Cannot bath or cannot even wash your hand. And the shores are not cleaned regularly. Can see garbages around.nice bay to walk round at one end is a buddest temple .Calm place to get relaxed and have a walk. Small play ground, kids play area, shops and restaurants for snacks and foods. walking tracks, bicycle tracks are avilable. This beach park was renovated recently, good place to spend time with friends, but the condition of beach/sea is very polluted.sufficient Parking avilable at the area.The beach is lined with bars and restaurants and dive centres.Plenty of boats offering sea excursions and there is jet skis.It is an ideal beach for families and the sea is ideal for snorkelling.

    One of the worst beaches in Colombo. I would in fact not call this as a beach. Full of garbages, waste and what not. The water is also very dirty and brown colored. There is a small children park nearby where you may relax. I am very much surprised that people have given 5 ratings to this location and called this a very good spot to spend time. I must say they need to understand what a beach means and how it looks.

    The worst Beach ever! Its a part of the island where garbage is dumped and the sea water is black in color! I just cant believe my eyes people take their kids to bath in the beach around just 50 feet away from the garbage dumping area.!!! For sure the beach is named after crow as those are the garbage visitors! Like the review if you had been there already and agree with me.

  • 4/5 Muhammad A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice calm and quiet place to visit with 6 and friends. There are enough chairs to be seated. You can have a chat with your friends while feeling the breeze of the sea. If you bring a football you can play. There is a jogging track to do your jogging. Also, a separate cycle lane is available. There are some stalls with different food. But not up to standard. For the parking you need to pay hourly. But the veach should be cleaned

    A beach with great potential, a well structured support system with systematic parking and 24 hour protection. A good family beach with lots of green patches for infants with good food and snacks. Best time to visit is for the sunset on the sea peir.

    The beach offers a delightful and serene escape for families seeking a relaxing day out. Its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere provide a perfect setting for memorable moments. The soft sand, gentle waves, and breathtaking views make it an ideal spot for beachgoers of all ages to enjoy. My family and I had a wonderful time exploring the shoreline, building sandcastles, and splashing in the crystal-clear waters. The kids were ecstatic as they collected seashells and dipped their toes in the ocean. The beach's calm ambiance allowed us to unwind and recharge, far from the bustling city life. However, one aspect that dampened our experience was the presence of plastic waste scattered across the coastline. It was disheartening to see the beach marred by litter, particularly plastics that can be harmful to marine life. Although the local authorities had made some effort to clean up the beach, more work needs to be done to maintain its pristine state. I would like to encourage visitors to be mindful of their waste and carry out any trash they bring with them. By adopting responsible practices, we can collectively preserve the beauty of this natural gem for future generations to enjoy. In conclusion, the beach is a fantastic destination for families to create lasting memories. The tranquility it offers is truly rejuvenating. However, it is essential for both visitors and authorities to work together to address the plastic waste issue and ensure the beach remains an enchanting and eco-friendly getaway for all.

    Better place to spend time enjoyable. Can do physical activities and childern playing area too well maintained

  • 3/5 Reehan R. 3 years ago on Google
    Very crowded

  • 2/5 Shalanka R. 11 months ago on Google
    Offers a nice area for hanging out with friends and family. There are seating areas, a walking path, small snack shops, and even a play area for kids. However, it's important to be aware that the beach suffers from significant pollution. The sea water is highly contaminated with oil from the harbor and household waste, making it unsuitable for swimming. So it's not recommended for swimming activities. Exercise caution when visiting. I would give it 1.5 stars.

    Low maintenance, the beach is like a garbage collection centre. The administration should care of this.

    Crow Island Beach Park is a great social gathering place. And its management committee maintains the park well. But unfortunately due to the influence of Kelani Ganga estuary on Crow Island Beach, there is always a lot of garbage piled up there.๐Ÿ˜ฅ
