It's a wonderful and different sea beach from other beaches

Suduwella

While Suduwella may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre.

Suduwella
Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Hunupitiya

Hunupitiya might not have many top sights, but Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre are two attractions nearby that you can check out.
