Almost everyone prefers to spend some time with the ocean and enjoy the sun, sea, sand. Sri Lanka is largely a beach holiday destination with millions of travellers seek refuge in Sri Lanka’s pristine beaches. Most people think that they are beach experts. Unfortunately, some of our expertise has been a result of screw-ups! Here is a list of important tips when you plan your next beach holiday: 1. Season A lot of people love to travel to Sri Lanka especially during the winter of the northern hemisphere, which is the best period of the year (November to April) to travel to Sri Lanka. The temperature in Sri Lanka is pretty similar throughout the year, but, with regards to the rainfall, there are differences between summer (April to November) and winter (November to April). Frequent rainfall can be expected from April to November, covering most parts of the island. Another biggest difference the condition of the sea over most part of the sea from north-west to southern Sri Lanka. The waves are bigger from April to October, which makes some parts of the island especially the south-west coast, good for surfing but not so good for a leisurely beach holiday with calm water. 2. Region Sri Lankan beaches are suitable for a beach holiday at any given time of the year, therefore Sri Lanka receive beach holiday lovers throughout the year. Sri Lankan beaches are categorized mainly into 2, namely, north-eastern beaches and south-west beaches. These two beaches have totally different climate conditions due to the influence of monsoon wind. E.g. south-west beaches receive a lot of rain from April to November due to the effect of south-west monsoon making it not suitable for beach stay. However, during the same period beaches of north-east receive no rain and therefore, beach holiday lovers are heading to east coast beaches for beach holiday. During the north-east monsoon, north-east Sri Lanka is soaked with torrential rain and beaches in the area are also not suitable for holiday during this period. During the north-east monsoon, from November to April, south and west coast beaches remain dry making it suitable for outdoor activities. During the monsoon the sea gets rough and underwater current make it not suitable for swimming, diving, snorkelling and all other salt water-based activities. 3. Bugs Sri Lanka is a tropical island and some part of the country is overrun by mosquito. During the rainy-season the there is a tendency of spreading mosquito born diseases like dengue fever. However, during the dry-season from November to April, most part of the country is mosquito free. Usually you do not get much mosquito throughout the year in the beach areas due to the constant wind. Most hotels in Sri Lanka provides mosquito repellents, mosquito nets to their customers on demand. Usually, the hotels in Sri Lanka built such a way that they are bug proofed in terms of good bug screens and lack of giant cracks is important to enjoying your holiday. Other than the mosquito there are no other noteworthy mosquito to mentions here. But keep your doors and windows closed during the night, especially y when you stay in the cultural triangle. Animals like monkeys can creep into your room and steal food and other valuable. 4. Deals With careful planning and by keeping close eye on the holiday deals rather than going for the first thing you land on. The travellers can save a considerable amount of money. Most deals show up in Sri Lanka mainly during the off-season or low-season from April to November. During this period from airline tickets to hotels to transport and cost for most other things takes a down ward trend. Sri Lanka tour packages can also help you to save your trip to Sri Lanka. Most of these offers show up time to time on social media. 5. Travel companions If planning a trip with friends, be sure you want to travel with them. Consider things like how boozy they are. If travelling with family, you don’t want to travel with people who don’t like the sun (yeah who can believe this, but I’ve got family members who like cloudy weather), or people who complain endlessly about sand getting everywhere. 6. Air-conditioning Sri Lanka is a tropical country near the equator. The island has the similar temperature throughout the year, which hovering between 28-35-degree Celsius. February to July are the hottest months in Sri Lanka, during this period the temperature may climb up to 40 degree Celsius. Therefore, it is advisable to get a hotel room with air-conditioning in order to escape from the oppressive heat. 7. Food Most beach destinations have really great food outlets, and food is supposed to be a highlight of any holiday to Sri Lankan beaches. Fresh seafood with rice, noodles, bread or other native food varieties such as hoppers with a cup of tea is very popular among the local people. Research where to go for great food before you leave, some beaches especially on the west coast such as Hikkaduwa, Bentota are particularly popular for delicious seafood. Bigger cities like Colombo and Kandy offer more cosmopolitan food options, such as food courts with a large number of restaurants in one place, give you more options with regards to the price and food varieties.
