The beaches of Sri Lanka stretch along the entire coast, as if encircling the island. Usually the beaches of Sri Lanka are usually divided into three large regions - Western, Southern and Eastern beaches. People usually go to the Western beaches for hotel comfort, to the Southern beaches for white sand and a pleasant atmosphere, and to the Eastern beaches for an authentic experience in finding non-tourist places.

Choosing a hotel and hotel in Sri Lanka, always check the location on the map - in Sri Lanka there are a lot of housing options located "between" large and more or less large beaches, such hotels and villas often have access to private beaches, but at the same time cut off from the infrastructure of large beaches - restaurants, bars, local spas, etc.
If you want to live on a budget, look at the options for guest houses in villages and cities or beach hotels and villas away from popular beaches.
Western beaches of Sri Lanka
Western beaches are most often associated with the southwestern part of the coast, which stretches from Vaduva to. The beaches here are huge, with golden sand. This part of the coast is the most developed on the island, the infrastructure includes a huge amount different hotels, villas and guest houses, although you can also find tiny pretty villages with wild beaches. The northern part of the west coast, in contrast, is underdeveloped and authentic.
The most popular beaches in the regions are and Hikkaduwa.
The beaches of Kalpitiya
The Kalpitiya peninsula is the most Northern part west coast. It is an elongated 40-kilometer strip of land, separated from the main coast by a large lagoon. This the best place in Sri Lanka for dolphin (and sometimes whale) watching and kite surfing. On the beaches of the peninsula, you can find absolutely charming eco-resorts and pretty guest houses. In addition, the coast is slowly beginning to be built up with beach hotels and resorts.

Sri Lanka is one of the most popular destinations for beach holiday in Asia. This island has miles of gorgeous beaches. However, you will not find white sand beaches in Sri Lanka, such as in the Maldives. At best, you can relax on a beach with light yellow sand.
In this article, we will present you some of the best sandy beaches in Sri Lanka, which are covered with light but not white sand.
Unawatuna
The resort of Unawatuna, located in the south of Sri Lanka, won its high popularity among tourists, primarily due to its beautiful beach. Although this resort area has almost everything a tourist needs, even interesting historical places, the main attraction of this resort is its stunning light sand beach, which is well suited for swimming due to its location in a small bay, which guarantees relatively calm waters most of the year. If you are interested in Sri Lanka's white sand beaches, then you should pay attention to Unawatuna Beach. Although the sand here is not white, it is quite light, and the beach itself is suitable for a Bounty photo.
Bentota
If the light sand on the beach is one of the main criteria when choosing a place to relax, then we advise you to pay attention to Bentota Beach, which is often chosen by tourists who want to enjoy sunbathing and water sports sports. Alternatively, you can also go on a boat safari on the Bentota River, which connects to the lagoon. During the boat trip, you can see a variety of birds and admire the mangrove landscapes.
Hikkaduwa
Hikkaduwa has been known among foreigners since the 1970s. Today, the resort is considered one of the noisiest places on the west coast of Sri Lanka. What attracts crowds of tourists to this resort? The famous coral gardens and beautiful sandy beach contribute to its popularity. Although the sand on the beach is not white, as in the Maldives, its color is still quite pleasant. True, there is no feeling of being on Bounty Beach, mainly due to the fact that this is a rather crowded beach.
Hikkaduwa is also famous for its nightlife. Although there is not a wide variety of stylish clubs and disco bars, as in Colombo, Hikkaduwa still stands out from the rest. tourist resorts in respect of nightlife.
Negombo
About ten kilometers from the Bandaranaike Airport and an hour's drive from the center of Colombo is the town of Negombo, which offers a lot of entertainment and a beautiful beach with light yellow sand. In Negombo, you'll find plenty of ways to have fun, including trips around the lagoon and sightseeing of architectural creations left over from the colonial era, including St. Mary's Church, the remains of an old Dutch fort, and attractive mansions along main street.
Negombo beach is quite wide, so it can accommodate many vacationers who come here mainly from Colombo.
Tangalle
On the south coast of Sri Lanka you will find the beautiful Tangalle Beach. It looks like many imagine a beach on a tropical island - swaying palm trees, light sand and turquoise waters. However, this area is famous not only for its beautiful beach. There are also interesting sights here. For example, you can visit the famous Buddha statue, an ancient monastery in the rock, a bird sanctuary.
Mirissa
Mirissa beach is considered one of the most beautiful in Sri Lanka. The main reason for this beauty is that there is no rapid development here, as in some other places. In addition, many tourists are attracted by the light and very soft sand of this beach. Despite its relative underdevelopment, the Mirissa resort can offer stylish mini-hotels and good restaurants. There are also traditional village restaurants serving inexpensive and delicious food.
Arugam Bay
Although the beach in Arugam Bay is popular primarily among surfers, those tourists who just want to swim and relax on a beautiful beach with light sand also come here. Although on east coast the beaches are suitable for swimming from May to September, in Arugam Bay you can swim almost all year round.
Uppuveli and Nilaveli
The beaches of Uppuveli and Nilaveli, which are located in the east of Sri Lanka, near the city of Trincomalee, remained untouched during the long civil war. Palm trees, golden sands, fishing boats and a distinct lack of crowds are what you'll find on these beaches. There are few places to stay here, which means that the atmosphere on the beach always remains calm and quiet.
You rarely meet a person who does not associate the words “sea”, “sandy beach”, “palm trees” with an ideal vacation. Places where all this is, often called paradise.
Sri Lanka boasts an abundance of such places, but the Indian Ocean is far from welcoming tourists everywhere. Its huge waves can spoil all the fun. Therefore, let's try to find out which beaches of Sri Lanka can boast of a calm ocean and the absence of waves.

3. Beruwala. Located on the west coast, next to the ancient city. Infrastructure is developing rapidly here young resort. The beach stretches for 130 km. The swimming season is year-round, there are almost no waves. The coast is not crowded, suitable for a calm family leisure.

1. Madilla. The extensive sandy coast is well suited for a relaxed a relaxing holiday admiring the ocean. There are few hotels and cafes here, but everything can be found on the nearby beach, Tangalle. There is also an opportunity to watch turtles that have chosen the coast for laying eggs.
2. Tangalle. Despite the fact that this long and wide beach has a sufficient number of hotels, it attracts with privacy and incredibly beautiful views. The perfect combination of comfort and untouched nature. The disadvantages include frequent waves and a deep entry into the water.
3. Dikwella. An ideal quiet place for "care in itself". Poorly developed infrastructure, high waves, slightly rocky shore. At the same time, surprising beautiful landscapes inspiring creative people.
For outdoor activities
There are many corners on the island for those who do not like a “lying” relaxing holiday, but prefer to spend time on their favorite or new hobbies. After all, young and energetic do not care about high waves and other whims of the ocean.

There are many types of entertainment for young people, discos, bars, parties on the beach, surf schools, tour desks, etc. The presence of a coral reef also attracts amateurs here. There are also deserted quiet areas where you can enjoy the singing of birds and nature.

4. Arugam Bey. Paradise for surfers. Has everything you need for, like Hikkaduwa but more attractive prices. Nearby is national park Yala where various excursions are organized.
Of course, such a division is indicative, because each of the listed and many other beaches in Sri Lanka have other advantages, and sometimes disadvantages. But there is no doubt that Sri Lanka fits into the concept of a place for an ideal vacation.
