Holidays to Kammala put you on Sri Lanka’s popular west coast, where you can take advantage of top-class beaches and once-in-a-lifetime excursions.
Life's a beach
Set on Sri Lanka’s pretty west coast, the small village of Kammala offers a great snapshot of the country. The beaches here look like something off a postcard. Plus, it’s only half an hour’s drive up the coast from Negombo, or an hour from capital Colombo, so city sights are within easy reach.
Sands and sights
Long, golden swathes of sand are washed by the clear waters of the Indian Ocean in Kammala. But that’s not the only water around here. The surrounding area’s laced with canals and lagoons –some of which run all the way to nearby Negombo. Alternatively, if watersports are more your thing, you can go kayaking or paddle-boarding on the beach.
Time to explore
Kammala’s the perfect launch pad for tours and daytrips. You can head south along the coast to Colombo or Negombo. The latter’s a buzzing seaside town, with a wildlife-filled lagoon. It’s equal parts modern and traditional, too – so you can watch fishermen haul in their catch, cycle past tiny canalside villages, or soak up the sun on the hotel-lined beach.
