Panadura Beach

This beach is an excellent spot for swimming, and the attentive beach guard is incredibly helpful. When we encountered a minor altercation with a local, the beach guard arrived promptly and ensured our safety. Additionally, the beach offers convenient shower facilities for a nominal fee of 50 LKR per person. However, the only drawback is the unfortunate practice of burning plastic.

Great beach with no people

Kalido Beach

This location offers a picturesque panorama of the renowned Kalutara Bridge, Kalutara Bodhiya, and temple. The optimal time to experience its magnificence is at dusk. Regrettably, the beach's shoreline is adjacent to the road.
