About Negombo

Negombo é uma sossegada cidade piscatória da costa oeste do Sri Lanka, perto do aeroporto, com praia de palmeiras, laguna e canais da era holandesa.

A longa praia de Negombo é ladeada de pensões, cafés e restaurantes de marisco, e canoas de balanço e barcos de pesca encalham na areia todas as manhãs. O mercado de peixe, um dos mais movimentados da ilha, estende a captura a secar ao sol ao longo da margem, uma cena vívida de comerciantes e gaivotas.
