The best beach for whale and dolphin watching along with snorkeling amongst beautiful corals. Canoeing, sailing, wind surfing also take place along this beach. It’s a 3 hour drive from Colombo itself which is very convenient for tourists who stay in Colombo for the vacation. However Alankuda itself offers cottages and hotels along the beach for those who want to spend a romantic fun-filled day/night at this beautiful getaway. The Beach is paradise itself.
