Sri Lanka has amazing credentials for tourist attraction and water sports are at the top of the list of fun tourists attractions. This you can observe for yourself when you travel down south in Sri Lanka. The most noted places in down south that offer water sports amenities include Kalutara, Bentota, Beruwela, Unawatuna, Mirissa, Weligama, Dickwella and Koggala. Sri Lanka’s mild tropical climate works wonders especially when you engage in water sports. The best thing about water sports in down south is that you get to explore the rich marine life of Indian Ocean.
Among things to do in Bentota and other towns down south, most tourists would prioritise water sports, while relaxing and beach dining would come next. Sri Lanka’s beaches are usually quite safe. There are particular times when jellyfish come to the surface, but then you will be notified. You will be able to entertain yourself with water sports such as windsurfing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, body boarding, banana ride and jet ski under the watchful eye of professionals. They stand by in case of emergency. Whether you are a pro or simply an amateur hardly matters when there are experts nearby to help out. If you plan to enjoy a long stay – suppose a month or two – the best option is to rent out a villa by the beach such as Saman Villa or similar others, rather than at hotels – villas usually provide more flexibility, especially if you are travelling with the family or in a large group, and may also be a better deal in terms of value for money.
Apart from the traditional water sports, fishing is also becoming a new entertainment activity among tourists. You can talk to fishermen and treat yourself to a proper way of fishing. It is quite possible in down south, as it is still the hub of fishing – one of the considerable sources of income in Sri Lanka. Most towns such as Bentota are known as fishing towns. That is to say, you will find quite a lot of interesting stuff only if you roam among the fishermen. For that, you need to rise early in the morning and reach fish markets. Sometimes the markets are held on the open streets so that you can see how fishermen go about selling their freshly caught wares.
