Like Dia Mirza, if you wish to soak in the beauty of Sri Lankan beaches, take a look at these top tourist hotspots.
1. Mirissa
With a variety of eateries waiting to serve you a refreshing beer or barbecued lobster at your table, Mirissa Beach has more than enough reason to be a part of your itinerary. Including its offshore attractions, staying here is highly recommended. Many whale-watching tours depart from here, offering the chance to witness the blue whales that travel along the coast in February and March.
2. Bentota
This beach is the hub of water sports in Sri Lanka. The northern tip of Bentota is home to Paradise Island, which separates the serene waters of Bentota Lagoon from the Indian Ocean. While the tranquil lagoon waters behind the beach are perfect for kayaking and jet-skiing, boat excursions along the river offer great opportunities for exploration.
3. Arugam Bay
If you want to experience the surf culture in the country, Arugam Bay on the east coast is the perfect spot to spend a few days. From April to September, surfers from all over the world come here to ride the waves.
4. Bentota
Thanks to its abundance of amenities, including boutique hotels and eateries serving fresh seafood, Bentota is one of the most popular beaches for families. The beach features a long stretch of butter-coloured sand, surrounded by local vegetation. Activity outfitters here offer a variety of options, such as boat safaris, windsurfing and jet-skiing.
5. Uppuveli
A major factor in the allure of Sri Lanka's east coast sandy beaches is that they aren't just for visitors. While sun worshippers set up camp for the day or play volleyball on the white sands, local fishermen push their colourful wooden boats into the Indian Ocean. As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts to the laid-back bars along the beach.
