Sri Lanka’s version of LA’s Venice Beach isn’t the place to get away from it all, but it is the place to relax, people watch, and have some fun with other Sri Lankans, whether it’s day or night. Aside from the beach, there’s a large grass area where people picnic and play games. For the best energy, visit on a Friday or Saturday night.
You can enjoy the beach and water or maybe fly a kite in the ever-present wind. You can play some football (soccer) or cricket as there are always pick-up games going on. The beach is fronted by vendors and restaurants, and the area beyond it is filled with hotels ranging in price from budget to luxury.
Galle Face Green is in the heart of downtown Colombo, just in front of Fort. You have the skyline behind you and the beautiful sea in front of you. It’s the area between Galle Road and the Indian Ocean.
