The small fishing town of Kalpitiya in Sri Lanka’s north western province is hugely famous for whale and dolphin watching. Visitors make a bee-line to the peninsula between the November and March/April season when weather conditions are ideal to snatch a glimpse of diverse sea mammals. With 14 islands, Kalpitiya is a marine sanctuary replete with a diversity of habitats ranging from bar reefs, flat coastal plains, saltpans, mangrove swamps, salt marshes and expansive sand dune beaches.
