Beruwala sits in a tranquil harbor shielded from heavy waves and strong currents by a natural coral reef. The massive coastline is covered with coarse white sand and flanked by beautiful palms that provide shade from the sun. The descent is easy, and the sea floor is level and secure. Wearing slippers is recommended since there may be some small sharp stones and coral shards.
Apart from soaking some sun and sea, discover other points of interest in Beruwela during your stay from Aviyana Ceylon Tours such as visiting the beautiful landscaped gardens at Brief Gardens, the country home of Bevis Bawa, brother of renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa for his contemporary and tropical modern architecture; encounter history of early Muslim settlements in ancient Ceylon by visiting the Kechimalai mosque which stands white and bright on the edge of a cliff facing the ocean; revel in spirituality by seeing the Kande Viharaya, a sacred Buddhist temple and archaeological site and one of Sri Lanka’s four international lighthouses, the Barberyn Island lighthouse that sits by the ocean encircled by swaying palm trees.
