Along the West Coast of Sri Lanka is the friendly city of Negombo, one of the oldest fishing towns in the country. In addition to its centuries-old fishing industry, its wide sandy beaches and well-preserved ruins of the Dutch and Portuguese era is what makes Negombo thrive on tourists. Gourmet food – particularly seafood, spices, ceramic and brassware are a few other industries that are successful in Negombo.

The lagoon in Negombo is a very popular location that attracts a lot of tourist-friendly activities such as water sports and fishing. The lagoon is fed by a few small rivers and a 100km long canal, which was built by the Dutch but is still used by citizens and tourists today. The area surrounding the lagoon is densely populated with rice paddies, coconut plantations and grasslands. A Negombo Lagoon Fishing Day Tour is the ideal activity to explore Negombo’s buzzing fish market, buy fresh local fish, discover the mangroves by boat, observe the art of local fishing and even try your hand at it! You could also take a catamaran ride along the canal for a unique perspective of sightseeing in Negombo.
