Calido Beach
The coastal town of Kalutara is most famous for her stretches of pristine beach, and that is why many would consider Calido Beach to be her most popular attraction. The powdery sands and transparent waters of Calido Beach stretch for kilometres.

This is a very interesting attraction since it is equal parts a spiritual site and former Portuguese fort. The fort came first, since it was built by the Portuguese to protect the spice trade. Eventually, during the 1960s, a massive stupa was built here. It is widely believed to be the only hollow stupa in existence.
