Negombo is very close to the airport approx 20 mins. Therefore it is not bad if you are wanting to have a layover or if you’re looking for beach access as there are many beach resorts

High spot for Westerner tourist as well and extraordinary beaches.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It is a tourist town, food is reliably good, more western w/Sri Lankan flavors.Tuk tuks, the best way to get around, charge more than in any other SL city. Hawkers on the beaches are many & persistent. DogStar program is a winner!
