Five best beaches in Sri Lanka

1. Unawatuna

A pretty little horseshoe beach backed by one of Sri Lanka’s most enjoyable villages.

2. Bentota and Induruwa

One of the finest stretches of beach on the west coast, running south from the magnificent Bentota lagoon and lined with a string of alluring hotels.

3. Arugam Bay

Famous for its surf, this remote beach and village in the far east also has bags of laid-back charm and a number of interesting sights nearby.

4. Mirissa

One of the south coast’s most intimate beaches, with a picture-perfect arc of sand screened by toppling palms – and a great place to go whale-watching too.

5. Uppuveli

Proximity to the former war zone means that this superb swathe of sand remains remarkably sleepy and undeveloped – visit now before it all changes.
