Quiet Beach ...
Feb 2020 • Couples
This is a quieter beach front as compared to the Galle Face Beach. A nice place to relax on the beach; enjoy the sea breeze; enjoy the sunset view with peaceful surroundings. We were told by our driver/ guide that Negombo is usually a starting point or ending point of Sri Lanka trip since it is closer to the International Airport. We were so glad that we made Negombo as our last destination during our Sri Lanka Trip as it is indeed a relaxing place to end the trip after the extensive tour around Sri Lanka Island.

Wide quiet beach
Mar 2020 • Couples
Great beach facing the west so sunset photos over the ocean. Opportunity to swim in the Indian Ocean- warm and inviting. Jetwing Blue is right on Negombo Beach.

Beware of "milk powder scam"
Mar 2020 • Couples
The beach is nice, but a little dirty and too many touts trying to sell or scam disturbing the peace.
Beware that "the milk powder scam" is in operation this beach.
Basically someone approaches you with a sob story and says they don't want any money.. they just want you to come to a local shop and by some milk powder for their starving baby.
The shop keeper is in on the scam and will charge you a large anount for the milk powder. I didn't fall for it so I don't know how much.. but have heard of people paying £60!!! Once you have gone the person will then return the milk powder to the shop and get their cut.
This is a very common scam thoughout Asia.

Beautiful but littered
Mar 2020 • Couples
The setting, sand, views and people are fantastic. It is just such a shame it is dangerous to bathe and the sand covered in litter. To be honest we did see a group of 40 or more people clearing litter one evening but the next day it was covered again.

What a place....
Feb 2020 • Friends
Amazing service. Nasmeer and staff were wonderful. He even took care to return my cell phone to the airport, riding with the driver to make sure it wasn’t stolen. Top notch staff. Top notch service. Only recommendation is to have snacks to purchase in the fridge. They quickly made a wonderful sandwich though. We will be back

Nice but not as pretty as others
Feb 2020 • Couples
The beach is long and goes on for miles. Very relaxed beach but the undercurrent in the sea can be deceiving on some days, but if you can swim, you will be fine. We enjoyed it but would have liked to have seen more shacks on the beach with sunbeds which would have been a nice addition.

good for 1 night before taking my flight
Feb 2020 • Couples
Last year I also was in Sri Lanka and I spent my last night in a big hotel at the airport. This year looking better at the map I discovered that Negombo beach is not fare, so we decided to spend our last night here. The beach is not clean, but anyhow we took a long walk on the beach.
we really enjoyed our night at Bacco Italian Restaurant eating great food and a bottle of good wine.

Looking for a nice affordable family hotel in Negombo or surrounds, preferably on the beach for a family of 5 with 3 kids under 14. Nothing over priced. Any suggestions?

It’s hard to judge affordable, however a very nice hotel was Goldi Sands. Food was good and entertainment on. However I would not recommend staying in Negombo, there are nicer places.

Is there a place I can kite surf? I wanted to surf but there are no surfing schools around and had researched about kite surfing for this area but not sure of where to go. Thanks.

I think you can but the southern beaches are more suitable and popular. Try any place between Galle and Dondra like Unawatuna or Mirissa!

My family and I have a full day to waste before our flight. I have been told that a good option would be to hire a day room somewhere on negombo beach, where we can chill, eat and clean up before our night flight. Can anyone recommend somewhere? Thanks!

Preferably chose a good Hotel facing Sea. I would personally suggest Jetwing Sea as we stayed there. You will find the boats and other activities at the site

Beach side is nice, but not as nice as the beaches on the south coast!
A way up north of Negombo you'll find a lot of nice places to stay, very good restaurants and if you like some good ayurveda spas (I can recommend JCs Beach Villa and Ayurveda Spa)

Hi , Its not usually advised to swim in the sea. The water is clean, but better to sail on it rather than swim in it.

Здравствуйте, а расскажите какой пляж Вы можете охарактеризовать как самый красивый и со спокойным океаном?

Мирисса - один из самых чистых и красивых пляжей, волны меньше, чем в Хиккадуве. Но самый лучший, по словам гидов, Арунгам-Бэй. Высоту волн в конкретное время и правда лучше оценивать по картам Гугл, а не по отзывам

How far is negombo is from CMB airport
Naturefan48
Negombo, Sri Lanka142 contributions
6 kilometers to Negombo Town from Colombo International Airport.
8 kilometers to main Tourist Beach area of Poruthota Road and Lewis Place where good hotel accommodation, restaurants, bars etc are located.
It would take 20 - 30 minutes by taxi or a Tuk Tuk.
