The remnants of the Portuguese, Dutch and the British colonialism has added to this vibrant and charming beach town located few km’s from Bandaranaike International Airport. The local community, fishermen, are friendly and contended with their share of daily catch from the lagoon.
Along the main street is a sprawling strip of hotels with their private beaches and food outlets to suit any pocket. One can take a stroll down the stretches of sunny tropical beachline or enjoy the picturesque small fishing villages along the Hamilton Canal while riding a hired bicycle.
