Kudawa Beach

Although Kalpitiya lies more than 150 kilometres north of Colombo, it is quickly becoming a highlight of what Sri Lanka offers. Kalpitiya, in the country’s North-Western province’s Puttalam district, is home to 14 small islands known for their magnificent sunsets and peaceful visits. Kudawa Beach is one of the greatest in the area, with calm waters all year round, making it ideal for a brief dip. The beach is a hub for various water sports, ranging from kite surfing to boat cruises along the lagoon or the sea. Set sail into the depths of the Indian Ocean on a whale and dolphin viewing expedition; this is a favourite pastime in Kalpitiya. The surroundings support a rich ecology, including everything from bar reefs and mangrove swamps to salt marshes and flourishing seas. Visitors can also rent kayaks to explore the beaches and lagoon on their own.

The best time to visit Kudawa beach is between April and October for the best watersports experience, when the waters are calm. Still, the winds are ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing. If observing dolphins and whales is more appealing, visiting the best months are between December and April. Bring refreshments and drinks to stay hydrated if you merely want to rest and relax on a stretch of golden sands at Kudawa Beach. Sunscreen is also required to avoid becoming sunburned. Head to one of the surrounding hotels and resorts located on the seaside for a meal for a quick retreat or a substantial lunch
