As we all know, Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean. You can meet the sea all over the island, no more than 300 kilometers from anywhere in the country. Being an island nation has created so many beautiful beaches around this lovely paradise. Most of those famous beaches can be found on the western, southern, and eastern sides of the island.
Typical Sri Lanka tour itineraries, and most of our tour itineraries only cover beaches in the southern and western parts of the country, so this East Coast itinerary is special because it covers east coast beaches simultaneously with other lovely beaches. Therefore, if you are a beach lover who loves to spend most of your vacation on beaches, this is an ideal option for sure.
