Negombo Fish Market, Negombo, Sri Lanka Negombo was home to Sri Lankan fishermen and women who engaged in traditional fishing methods long before the city became a renowned beach destination with hundreds of beach resorts lining its sandy shore.
This large fish market, located at the western end of Negombo's seashore, is the center of all morning action. The Negombo Fish Market is one of Sri Lanka's largest and most important markets, which drives Negombo's economy. 30 minutes
St. Mary's Church, Negombo, Sri Lanka From the time Sri Lanka was controlled by the Portuguese, the Christian faith has had a strong effect on Negombo. Because of the city's huge number of churches, it is commonly referred to as "Little Rome."
The church's construction began in 1874 and was finished in 1922, after a lengthy break. The art and architecture of this church, as well as a few other comparable buildings in Sri Lanka, reflect the early twentieth-century cultural fusion of European practice with Sri Lankan art and architecture. 15 minutes
Angurukaramulla Temple, Negombo, Sri Lanka The Angurukaramulla Temple is one of Negombo's most well-known temples. It is well-known for its Buddha statue and a spectacular dragon entryway. To enter the temple, one must pass through the dragon's mouth, which is said to ward off evil spirits.
A 300-year-old moss-covered remains of an ancient library may also be seen at the temple. There are several trees in the temple, as well as a pond with turtles. The temple also features several murals, ceiling paintings, and elaborate sculptures depicting Buddha's path to enlightenment. 10 minutes

Dutch Fort, Negombo, Sri Lanka Dutch Fort was a small but important fort in Negombo, approx. 30 km (19 mi) north of Colombo, that was built by the Portuguese in 1588 to defend Colombo.
In its time the fort at Negombo was probably the next in strategic importance after Colombo, Jaffna and Galle.
In 1796, the British occupied by the fort without opposition; subsequently, they demolished the building. A prison was built from the remains of the destroyed monument. The prison is still used today by the Sri Lankan government. 15 minutes

We could only take this tour during a New Year celebration, but our guide Pushpaka was incredibly accommodating and still gave us a great tour despite most businesses being closed. Pushpaka was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The highlight was the boat tour, where we also waded around in the lagoon and fed macaques at Monkey Island. A fantastic experience!

We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the lagoon where we climbed into our little boat. We were with two friends so there was just the four of us plus the guy driving the boat. It’s a beautiful lagoon and we saw so many different birds. We stopped in the middle at a shallow spot and our driver got out of the boat and put a small table and four little stools into the water. It was a bit difficult to get out but so worthwhile as our man had chopped up fresh fruit for us to eat and just look at the peaceful and pretty scenery. We then got back in and we’re driven to one of the little island where the monkeys jumped onto the boat to eat our left over fruit, it was an amazing experience. Well worth the money.
