About Negombo

Negombo, paisible ville de pêche de la côte ouest du Sri Lanka près de l'aéroport : plage de palmiers, lagune et canaux néerlandais.

La longue plage de Negombo est bordée de pensions, de cafés et de restaurants de fruits de mer, et des pirogues à balancier et des bateaux de pêche s'échouent sur le sable chaque matin. Le marché au poisson, l'un des plus animés de l'île, étale sa pêche à sécher au soleil le long du rivage, une scène vivante de marchands et de goélands.
