Bentota

The resort town of Bentota on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast offers a bonanza to ardent lovers of ‘sun and sand’. The long beach stretches north, where it transforms into a sandy strip known as ‘Paradise Island’, parallel to Bentota Lagoon. A popular destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing, this charming location also offer opportunities for diving, with the coral-rich Canoe Rock among the many options.
