New Experience of Sri Lankan Beach
I never had a chance to visit this place during my previous visits to Lanka, this time I got time to see Mount Lavinia Beach and I was amazed at the place. Long Beach is good for walking with an amazing sunset view. You can enjoy beverages at restro bars at beachside.

Serene Mornings at Mount Lavinia Beach
Mount Lavinia Beach is a wonderful spot to visit early in the morning, around 6-7 am. The calm and pleasant atmosphere makes it perfect for a peaceful walk on the sand or playing on the shore. The tranquility and natural beauty at this time are truly refreshing. However, one downside is the noticeable amount of plastic waste scattered around the beach, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, the beach’s serene morning charm makes it worth a visit. A little cleanup effort could make this beautiful location even better.
