The first or last beach of most trips, half an hour from the airport, with two dive centres and a January to March kitesurf season.

A wide strand running north from Negombo town, about 9 km from the international airport, with budget guesthouses clustered at Lewis Place to the south and larger hotels along Porutota Road to the north. Oruva outrigger canoes and paruva catamarans from the town's old fishing fleet still land on the sand.
