Beautiful harbor front park (no grass) Near the cooling One Galle Face mall
This is the premiere harbor front gathering place for Columbianos. It’s about a kilometer long on the harborfront where are you can watch the birds, boats and also watch the construction of new land for a new suburb in Colombo, much to the consternation of the hotels and condos that have owned this ocean view for decades. Tourists and locals alike meander along this beautiful stretch of sunsets, courting couples and families. Kids play soccer, young kids and families dabble in the water in the oceans edge and the locals size up the tourists. Protesters protest, dignitaries motorcades flash by and construction of the new harborfront grinds on. It’s a place to see and to be seen!

Smalll Strech of walk viewing the Indian ocean
Excellent hotel offering 5 star services in the old regal style. Their sea facing rooms have breath taking views. The hotel upgraded me and my spouse to a room with a jacuzzi !!! The balcony is a cherry on the top - to feel the sea breeze or watch the beautiful moon light . Absolutely stunning place for honeymooners and family too. Extremely safe for Solo Women travelers. Breakfast had a lovely spread of continental and Srilankan cuisine . Has some of the best fine dine restaurants of Srilanka in the hotel with different themes. Stay and service is superb with the staff attending to guests courteously. Sorry the visit was earlier than Dec 2021 but trip advisor does not give the choice of a date earlier than Dec 2021. But I am sure they would be offering good services even now as I visited this Hotel multiple times between 2017 to 2020

Beautiful Sunset...
Beautiful sunset to watch at the beach with proper footpath and many food vendors along the beach front. One Galle Shopping Mall is just opposite for those who prefer indoor dining restaurants. Good place to hang out in the evening to enjoy the sea breeze and sunset view, where is within 15-20 mins walking distance from city centre of Colombo from World Trade Centre Colombo.
