What to see in Bentota

Bentota is a cozy coastal city on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka with a warm atmosphere, coconut groves and a rich history of maritime trade. Here, colonial footprints and traditional Sri Lankan life intersect: from calm market streets to busy embankments. The city attracts those who are looking for a beach holiday, water sports and a leisurely acquaintance with the island culture.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Bentota and the surroundings are diverse: the local market, where you can find souvenirs and spices, the majestic Port of Galle with its historical fortifications and colonial architecture, Hindu and Buddhist temples, attracting with their form and rituals. The area has a turtle farm and a memorial to the victims of the tsunami, as well as gemstone mines and museums telling about the maritime history and crafts of the region. These places perfectly illustrate what to see for those who are interested in culture and history.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions are no less impressive: the beaches of Bentota are two contrasting coasts, one quiet and peaceful, the other is full of entertainment and activities. The Bentota River with mangroves and pleasure boats creates a special atmosphere, and the proximity of Yalla and her safari gives you a chance to see leopards, elephants, crocodiles and many birds. In addition, in relative accessibility are natural and archaeological sites of Sri Lanka, such as Sigiriya with its famous "Lion's Rock".
