Those in search of Sri Lanka resorts in the region that make an ideal base for your excursions can stay at Palagama Beach Kalpitiya. This charming beach resort in Sri Lanka offers an idyllic getaway by the sea and is a great place from which to head off on your tours.
Home to a lagoon and a river, Kalpitiya is the perfect destination for boat rides that take you past salt marshes and mangroves swamps. An ideal activity for the entire family, these boat cruises take place on the Kala Oya River and Kalpitiya Lagoon where one gets a chance to see scenic islets and wildlife as well including fish and migratory bird species. For a boat ride with a difference, look to take excursions off Kalpitiya Peninsula where travellers have the opportunity to spot majestic sperm whales during the whale watching season.
