While Sri Lanka’s beaches attract plenty of visitors, you still find relatively secluded shorelines where you can soak up the sun in peace; Wadduwa Beach is just such a coastal haven!
Golden Shores
Golden sands drenched in tropical sunshine await those who venture to this idyllic spot. It’s a great place to work on your tan, play games with the kids, take walks along the shore and catch a spellbinding sunset. Accommodation options such as The Blue Water Hotel and Spa can be found right along the beach so you can spend your days by the ocean.
Fisherfolk in Action
One of the advantages of staying at coastal resorts in Sri Lanka is the chance to witness local fishing traditions. Those holidaying along Wadduwa Beach can head to the shore early morning and witness fishermen arriving in their boats or gathering together to sell their catch.
Cultural Discoveries
You can look forward to cultural discoveries too when exploring this coastal area. Coconut fibre products be it baskets or carpets are quite popular and make for unique souvenirs, while one can also witness the age-old art of toddy tapping. There are local shops selling handicrafts, traditional masks and jewellery too.
The Ideal Location
The location of Wadduwa Beach makes it convenient to visit; it’s only around 33 km from Colombo, the country’s commercial capital, making it ideal for a day trip. Additionally, Wadduwa is a convenient base from which to explore the south coast with destinations like Kalutara, Beruwala, Bentota and Galle within easy reach too.
