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

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.

Negombo beach is really nice some nice bars that lead onto the beach itself great location, watch out for seller's there are quite a lot walking up and down the beach but you can get a bargain just as I did.

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.
