Negombo is one of the closest beaches to Colombo and it’s right by the airport, but I’d never been until recently. The thought of battling the traffic on airport road to get to Negombo was enough to stop me before, but I’m glad we got the chance to explore. Negombo is the perfect mini break for one night and it has such a beach town feel with bars and restaurants and tourist shops lining the main drag, Beach Road. We stayed in a renovated room at Jetwing Sea, which was great. The food and the service were excellent, both of which can be hit or miss at Sri Lankan hotels. Two thumbs up!

Negombo is a predominantly Christian are with lots of impressive churches around town. But there are also lots of Muslims and Hindus. Surprisingly, not as many Buddhists. Wonder why?
