subject: Water Skiing In Negombo An Exciting Experience [print this page] Shaped like a tear drop, the tropical island paradise of Sri Lanka is situated below the southern end of India. The two countries are separated by the Palk Strait, which is a thin stretch of water. Although Sri Lanka is a small island it has a number of interesting places to visit and a number of fun things to do. The country is bound to be especially popular with nature lovers and city dwellers looking for a change of scenery. Colombo, the island's capital; Kandy, the central region known for its pleasant climate and tea plantations; Galle, an area steeped in history situated in the southern part of the country; are a few of the main tourist destinations within the country. However, the island has been known to reward tourists that stray off the beaten track.
Negombo is a coastal town located on the western coast some forty kilometres outside of Colombo. It is only a short drive from the Bandaranaike International Airport making it convenient to visit either on the way from or to the airport. Started as a small fishing town, Negombo is now a bustling tourist spot that attracts thousands of visitors each year thanks to its gorgeous beaches and historic and cultural sites such as the Dutch Fort.
While the beaches in Negombo may not be the best in the country they are pretty good and the excellent infrastructure makes them a place worth visiting.

There are also plenty of good dive spots off the coast of Negombo that are perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving. When it comes to water sports there are quite a number of tour operators around so tourists can shop around for a good price.
