Situated on the West coast of Sri Lanka, a couple of hours drive south from Colombo, Bentota Beach resort is a popular tourist destination that sits at the estuary of a river and the Indian Ocean. The proximity of both a river and the beach create lots of breathtaking scenes for relaxation and water-sports. Our visit in August was rather brief (only a day trip) and the drive there was a bit of a 'nail-biter' based on the driving skills (or lack there-of) the Sri Lankan drivers. But all in all, it was pleasant trip and definitely a must-see location for visitors to Colombo.
