Activity itinerary

Negombo Fish Market
  • 30m
Negombo was home to Sri Lankan fishermen and women who engaged in traditional fishing methods long before the city became a renowned beach destination with hundreds of beach resorts lining its sandy shore. This large fish market, located at the western end of Negombo's seashore, is the centre of all morning action. The Negombo Fish Market is one of Sri Lanka's largest and most important markets, which drives Negombo's economy.
St. Mary's Church
  • 15m
From the time Sri Lanka was controlled by the Portuguese, the Christian faith has had a strong effect on Negombo. Because of the city's huge number of churches, it is commonly referred to as "Little Rome." The church's construction began in 1874 and was finished in 1922, after a lengthy break. The art and architecture of this church, as well as a few other comparable buildings in Sri Lanka, reflect the early twentieth-century cultural fusion of European practice with Sri Lankan art and architecture.
Angurukaramulla Temple
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Angurukaramulla Temple is one of Negombo's best-known temples. It is well-known for its Buddha statue and a spectacular dragon entryway. To enter the temple, one must pass through the dragon's mouth, which is said to ward off evil spirits. A 300-year-old moss-covered remains of an ancient library may also be seen at the temple. There are several trees in the temple, as well as a pond with turtles. The temple also features several murals, ceiling paintings, and elaborate sculptures depicting Buddha's path to enlightenment.
Sri Singama Kali Amman Kovil
  • 15m
Sri Singama Kali Amman Kovil in Negombo is a Hindu religious site devoted to Ganesh, the Hindu deity of beginnings who is represented by an elephant. Ganesh is the patron of scholars, financiers, scribes, and authors, and is typically worshipped before any major undertaking.
Dutch Canal
  • 15m
Also known as Hamilton Canal is a 14.5 km (9.0 mi) canal connecting Puttalam to Colombo, passing through Negombo in Sri Lanka. The canal was started in 1802 by the British and finished in 1804. Its purpose was to remove saline water from the Muthurajawela marshes. Gavin Hamilton, the Government Agent of Revenue and Commerce, was honoured with the canal's name.
Negombo Dry fish Processing Area
  • 20m
The Negombo Dry Fish Processing Area is a fascinating spot where visitors can witness Sri Lanka’s traditional fish preservation techniques. Here, freshly caught fish—mainly tuna, sprats, and mackerel—are salted and sun-dried on large racks under the tropical sun. This centuries-old method enhances the flavour and shelf life of the fish, making it a staple in local cuisine. You can walk through the drying fields, interact with local fish processors, and learn about the labor-intensive process that supports many coastal families. The area offers a truly authentic glimpse into Sri Lanka’s fishing heritage.
St. Sebastian's Church - Sea Street | සා. සෙබස්තියන් දේවස්ථානය - වැල්ලවීදිය

St. Sebastian’s Church, located on Sea Street in Negombo, Sri Lanka, is a beautiful blend of colonial and modern architecture. Built in the 16th century, it honours St. Sebastian, the church's patron saint. The church’s white exterior and elegant arches make it a striking landmark. It holds historical and cultural significance, serving as a vital place of worship for the local Catholic community. Annual festivals, particularly the Feast of St. Sebastian, are celebrated with lively processions and prayers. The church offers a peaceful escape, with its serene ambiance perfect for quiet reflection. Located near Negombo’s coastline, visitors can easily combine a church visit with time at the beach, making it a perfect destination for both spiritual reflection and cultural exploration.
Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple
