While Negombo beach is fantastic for sunset walks and features incredible beachside restaurants it is generally not considered the best beach for swimming. Because it is located near a busy fishing harbor and a massive lagoon mouth the water can often be slightly murky.

The sand is occasionally littered with debris washing ashore from the nearby city. If you want pristine crystal clear water for swimming it is highly recommended to save your beach time for the southern or eastern coasts and just enjoy the hotel pool while in Negombo.
