There are plenty of accommodation choices in the area as well, and Cinnamon Bey Beruwala is an ideal option worth considering.

So what is there to do at Beruwala when it comes to water sports? With wonderful ocean breezes on hand, wind surfing enthusiasts can ride the waves on strong gusts of wind that propel you across the waters at great speeds.

For those who are new to it, this thrilling water sport actually takes you up off the water; you are securely fastened to a harness which has an open parachute attached to it at the back, while a long cord in front is connected to a speed boat. When the boat reaches optimum speed, you are propelled into the air much like a human kite!
For more ‘on the water’ action, you can also try some waterskiing which is another thrill-a-second activity.
