Top picks: (1) Ellae Rock over Ella Gap (golden light in valley), (2) Galle Fort ramparts (colonial silhouette + Indian Ocean), (3) Mirissa Coconut Tree Hill (Instagram famous — arrive 90 min ahead for spots), (4) Trincomalee Fort Frederick sunset viewpoint over Koneswaram temple, (5) Kalpitiya Peninsula lagoon sunset — huge open sky.

Timing: peak color 20 min AFTER sunset (blue hour). Don't leave immediately at sunset. Filters help — polarizing for saturation, 3-stop ND for smooth water motion. Tripod for HDR bracketing on high contrast scenes.
