Main Attractions in NEGOMBO
Fish Market-Negombo
Each day, fishermen take their oruvas and go out in search of the fish for which Negombo is well known. They’re a fine sight as they sweep home into the lagoon after a fishing trip. Fish auctions on the beach and sales at the fish market near the fort are a slippery and very smelly sight, but one that’s well worth forgoing some swimming pool time for.
Angurukaramulla Temple
East of town the Angurukaramulla Temple, with its 6m-long reclining Buddha, is worth seeing.
NegomboBeach
Even though it could never compete in a beauty contest against many Sri Lankan beaches, Negombo’s beach, which stretches north from the town right along the hotel strip before fading into a palm tree distance, has been recently tidied up and, in front of the big hotels, is now quite pleasant
St Mary’s Church
The fading pink chamber of St Mary’s Church, in the town centre, has some thunderous religious ceiling paintings covering the nave.
