    Warm sea and space
    Bentota beach is lovely. Fine sand gently shelving into a warm sea. For most of the day there were only a handful of people on the beach but come a weekend evening the locals come with their families for a dip and the atmosphere is fantastic and friendly. DO check out the warning flags as there are some strong currents. Near the Taj hotel on the north side where the beach dog legs to the south there is safer bathing. You can walk for miles seeing the fishermen folding their nets and hauling outriggers from the sea whilst singing songs. If you are going for a walk on the beach take water as there are no beach bars but you can occasionally walk through the trees to a hotel bar. Beware the sun is reflected from the sand and you will burn very easily as there is always a good breeze. We had no hassle from any touts.

    Sunlounger price info
    A nice beach and not at all crowded. We were asked (once we’d got comfy!) to pay a total of 500Rs for two sunloungers/beds having turned up after lunchtime. Apparently it would normally be 1000 for the whole day. Hopefully this is useful information to someone.
