Negombo Lagoon is a serene and biodiverse estuarine lagoon located just south of the bustling town of Negombo. Spanning approximately 35 square kilometers, the lagoon is fringed by mangrove swamps, coconut palms, and fishing villages, offering a peaceful contrast to the town’s energetic beach life. It’s renowned for its ecological richness, hosting a variety of bird species, fish, and crustaceans. Local fishermen rely heavily on the lagoon for prawn farming and traditional fishing, making it an excellent place to witness authentic Sri Lankan livelihoods. A boat ride through the calm waters of the lagoon provides visitors with stunning views, birdwatching opportunities, and insight into the local ecosystem and daily life.
