12km away from Colombo, Mount Lavinia, a city steeped with history is the closest beach to the Colombo city. Depending on the season, the waves can be swimmable, and sunsets are a photo-worthy scene.

The beach is usually bustling with life. Restaurants and bars on the beach come to life after sunset. Swimsuits, inflatable balls, sour mango, and manioca chips are sold on the beach.
