Known affectionately as “Little Rome” due to its highly ornate Catholic churches, Negombo is a bustling fishing town on the West Coast. Because of its incredible proximity to Bandaranaike International Airport, it is the ideal place to relax and recover from jet lag before starting your round tour. With a lively beachfront strip filled with restaurants, a rich colonial history, and traditional catamarans sailing the horizon, Negombo provides a fantastic introduction to Sri Lanka.

Negombo Beach (Browns Beach)
A wide, golden sandy beach perfect for an evening stroll. The beach road is lined with dozens of fantastic seafood restaurants, lively pubs, and souvenir shops.
