Negombo Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Negombo Beachlife - Sri Lanka
#beachlife
Getting There - Negombo is a city on the west coast of Sri Lanka, north of the capital, Colombo. It’s the closest town to the airport so most visitors would come directly after landing. Local mini vans run frequently to take you from the airport to the beach town at a reasonable price.
Highlight - Despite not being the kind of resort beach town compared with Ella or Mirissa in the south of Sri Lanka, Negombo has made its name known with its lively local life. Beyond its sands lies an interesting mix: a colonial-built canal and crumbled fort; a lively fish market, traditional fishing communities, and a wildlife-rich lagoon. If you are the kind of explorer who travel in the most local way, Negombo is the place you can’t miss in the wonderful Sri Lanka.

Negambo beach, a Vibe of decent Sri-Lankans
Negambo beach is one of the beaches in Sri lanka. Moreover, there are several beaches in Lanka, but Negambo could be a good choice for transit passengers to exlore. The beach is just 9.8 km, and costs between 1000 to 1200. Also depends on type of vehicle and time. #mytravelhacks

Negombo Fish Market | Authentic Cultural Sentiments Step into the Traditional Fish Market of Sri Lanka
Negombo Fish Market | Authentic Cultural Sentiments Step into the Traditional Fish Market of Sri Lanka
The journey in Sri Lanka begins in Negombo. Although Negombo doesn't have very beautiful scenery, it is a paradise for cultural documentaries.
Early in the morning, facing the scorching sun, we arrive at the fish market, a paradise for photographers, where it's easy to shoot cultural documentaries. The coastline stretches on, with clear waters lapping against the beach
•
【Rich Cultural Photography Spots】
1️⃣ Fishermen Gathering Nets
Every morning, fishermen go out to sea to fish. By ten o'clock, the sun is already very strong, and the fishermen have gradually returned. They are all busy gathering their nets, starting to arrange the fresh catch for sale.
2️⃣ Large Drying Scene
As you approach the Negombo fish market, you can smell the strong scent of seafood. Various types of fish are neatly arranged on the beach. Many of the fish, large and small, are ones I've never seen before. The locals tell me that the big tuna need to be dried for at least 5 days, while the smaller fish generally take 2-3 days.
3️⃣ Seabirds by the Shore
The seaside has another charm, with fishing boats drifting in the distance and flocks of birds, especially spectacular when they take flight. The pure white color injects endless vitality into this sea.
4️⃣ Bustling Seafood Stalls
The fishmongers display fresh fish, shrimp, and other seafood on their stalls. The sea fish look particularly fresh, with colorful fish, shrimp, crabs, and squids larger than the palm of your hand. From the first glance, I can imagine how delicious it is
[Net red and niche attractions in Sri Lanka 8th ring line]
first time to Sri Lanka school sister recommended this is suitable for 8-10 day ring line ~ can be a network of red and small attractions along the way to the net.
---- Galle-Colombo
The following is the sister-in-law to sort out several not-to-be-missed punch points/ Hh/
[Niganb: a fish market with fireworks]
We went straight to the Negombo fish market, just the sunrise, busy market, screaming, soaring seabirds, leisurely The dog is drawn into a scene of fireworks, which is very suitable for making humanities.
[Sigiriya: Elephant Orphanage]
Naturally going to the Elephant Orphanage. The group of elephants in a group is very spectacular, and along the way, you can also buy some paper products made from elephant droppings as a hand to take home.
[Kangdi: Xiaoren Rock Mountain]
The popular route of Lion Rock has long been known, so we walked a great niche route looking at Lion Rock. Although the road is very difficult, it is worthwhile to look at the spectacular scenery of Lion Rock after the summit. Looking out over Kandy Lake, night view of Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the Royal Tropical Botanical Garden oxygen-absorbing tour is an impressive spot.
[Nuwo: Be a tea picker]
One of the world's four major black teas is Sri Lanka's Ceylon black tea. Going to Sri Lanka to visit the tea factory is one of the must-have projects. Before going to the tea factory, my sister and friends specially changed the traditional costume "Sari" bought locally.
The first stop in Sri Lanka, usually Negombo. The biggest attraction of Negombo is the famous fish market.
The sewage in the market is flowing, and the unique smell of seafood is mixed with an unknown smell. It is not very good. Groups of crows stopped on the wires and waited for the plane to fly down to eat the fish residue. There are many varieties of fish, shrimps and crabs, and hawkers and housewives are bargaining each other. The fat aunt who sells the golden coconut smiles and sees the camera lens is not awkward. There is a kind of "this silly boy. It is from the city, I have never seen the country in the world, take a shot, aunt, I see more." tolerant.
Along the way to the fishing port where the boat is quietly parked, the pink roadside church, the colorful South Indian-style temple of the Copland Gate, and finally return to the hotel. The beach in the morning was silent, and a Wang Xing person stared deeply at the sea.
Tip: The fish market is closed on Sunday, pay attention to avoid it!
There are two cities in Negombo, a big fish market by the sea, a little far from the city. Every morning, there will be a fish market in the morning or at 5 pm, and you can also take pictures of the return of the fishing boat.
I arrived at noon, this time only the small fish market is open. The small fish market is in the urban area, not far from the lagoon, including the surrounding traffic, within walking distance. As part of the human experience, the fish market in Negombo is worth a visit. Here you can buy a variety of marine fish, shrimps, crabs, the price is very cheap, spend two or thirty yuan to enjoy a seafood dinner, and then find the innkeeper to borrow the kitchen (may charge some fees), but the price ratio Domestic is much cheaper.

Negombo is the Catholic center of Sri Lanka and is known as the "Little Rome". Most of the residents believe in Roman Catholicism, so there are many churches, the largest and most luxurious of which is St. Mary's Church.
St.Mary Church, next to the fish market and Dutch Fort (Dutch Fortress), an old building that was built in 1794 and took 50 years to build. It looks very ordinary. But I loved the top painting here, saying that I saw a bunch of murals in the church in Italy in July, but here I have a completely different feeling. It can be said that every church has her soul. .
From the appearance, the church is milky white and has three layers of holiness. The sun shines through the colorful glass windows, making the church exceptionally sacred.
Sri Lanka is a multi-religious country, and Negombo is more representative. Hinduism, Buddhism and Catholicism are the most common.
Among the many churches in Negombo, the largest and most luxurious is the St. Mary's Church.
It was built in 1874 and has been repaired for a total of 50 years. The church is decorated in a solemn and elegant style. The ceiling of the nave has solemn religious murals that are well worth watching. The sun shines through the colorful glass windows, making the church exceptionally sacred.
After arriving at the church, I look at the appearance. In fact, I don't think it is like a church. It is more like a Dutch residential house. But the sculptural decoration of the details tells me that it is a church.
The interior of St. Mary's Church is far more worth seeing than the exterior. I am amazed by the murals on the ceiling.
Sunlight shines into the glass window, forming a colorful spot, very nice.
The dome of the church is very magnificent, and the murals on the ceiling are still unsatisfactory.
There are many devout prayers in the church. Although you can take pictures at will, but keep quiet and don't bother them~
There are some small churches beside the main church. Don't forget to visit too. a bit.
