About 37 km north of the capital and only 6 km from the International airport, Negombo, is more fascinating and picturesque in its history and everyday life than as a beach front. The town has several buildings dating back to the Dutch and Portuguese colonial days. The Negombo lagoon is famous for its harvest of lobsters, crabs and prawns and fish auctions on the beach are worth a look. Old world fishing crafts such as the outrigger canoe and the catamaran are still used to bring in seer, skip jack and herrings. The gourmet can enjoy seafood in plenty.
