Bentota beach is a glorious holiday sun-and-fun playground. Popular for water sports etc.  

Protected from noisy Galle Rd by the sluggish sweep of the Bentota Ganga, the ribbon of golden sand that makes up Bentota beach is a glorious holiday sun-and-fun playground. There’s a good mix of uberluxe resorts and smaller boutique places. There are more such places bordering Aluthgama, a small town on the mouth of an inlet and straddling the main road between Beruwela and Bentota. The town of Aluthgama has a raucous fish market, local shops and the main train station in the area. Induruwa doesn’t really have a centre it’s spread out along the coast.
