West Coast

Negombo

Kustplaats vlak bij de luchthaven, vaak gebruikt voor de eerste of laatste nacht.

Introductie

Negombo wil niet de meest spectaculaire bezienswaardigheid van het eiland zijn, maar maakt aankomst en vertrek eenvoudig zonder de kustsfeer op te geven.

It has a layered coastal and colonial history, though in tourism terms it functions mainly as a practical transit-friendly beach town.
