Marawila beach

Marawila is a beach to the north of Negombo being located not far from Sri Lanka International Airport. It is good for a short stopover, when traveling to the north of the island. This is a pleasant place with palms and breakwaters. However, most of time, swimming is not possible due to the strong waves in the ocean. The beach is dirty, as it brings a lot of garbage from the ocean. In addition, there is nothing interesting around, - no excursions, no shops, no ATMs, no any kind of attractions. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
