Bentota Beach
Located in the southern coastal belt of Sri Lanka Bentota is known for its stretches of indigo sea and golden sands. It is positioned 60 Kilometers away from Colombo and can be easily accessed after a two and half hour drive. Like the naming of many other villages Bentota too derives its name from a mythical story, according to legend a demon called 'Bem' ruled the river which was referred to as 'tota'. The village of Bentota remains to be peaceful, making it the perfect beach sanctuary to escape into. Staying true to its location the village is renowned for water sports that exploit the lagoon, river and sea. Travel to Bentota and explore the temples located within the village and delve into the culture and heritage of the southern coast of Sri Lanka and release a baby sea turtle into the ocean late at night and observe how it waddles its way into the sea across the sand.
Facing the Indian Ocean, a tropical lagoon and a major river Bentota offers water sports possibilities nowhere else to be found. Apart from swimming, body-surfing or diving in the sea, you can jet-ski, windsurf, parasail or enjoy a romantic river safari on the river and lagoon.
Bentota River
You can see on this photograph that on some places at the Bentota Ganga (Bentota River) the width of the shore is only 100 meters,
which separates the sea from the river. There are various water sports on the river; water-skiing, jet-skiing or as on the photograph banana riding. There are many animals in and by the river, such as a young crocodile. It's certainly a must to visit the mangrove. It so quiet there so you can enjoy the splendid nature at the maximum.
