Bentota combines a beautiful golden beach with the calm waters and tropical scenery of the Bentota River. It is a wonderful destination for travellers who want to balance relaxing by the Indian Ocean with activities such as river cruises, kayaking and other water sports. Spend time on the beach, explore the river and surrounding mangroves, or simply enjoy the comfort of a coastal resort. Bentota and the wider south-western coast are generally at their best from November to March, when the sea is calmer and the weather is more favourable for beach activities.
