While the laidback locale of Negombo in Sri Lanka may be known as being an idyllic coastal getaway, it is still primarily a fishing town and experiencing a day with fishermen is a perfect way to experience some local culture. If you are in search of Sri Lanka hotels in Negombo then consider staying at a Jetwing Hotel in the region which provides a truly enchanting escape by the sea. This well known name in the hospitality industry features a range of hotels in Sri Lanka in key destinations around the country, letting you enjoy the very best the country has to offer.

When in Negombo head to the coast or the lagoon where one can find fishermen going about their day to day activities. Setting off on a traditional outrigger canoe, these fisher folk head out to sea in search of fish that are a mainstay for their livelihood. Make sure you are at the shore on their return as well since you can watch them bringing in their catch and auctioning them off at the beach itself. The fish are then transported to the local Fish Market which is also worth visiting as you can soak up its unique sights and smells!
