Beruwela Fish Harbour, Bentota

During the early morning, just as the nightly catch is coming in, Beruwela Fish Harbour is energetic, full of life and rarely visited by other foreign tourists; making it a fascinating experience. Watch both the small boats unloading their catch from the night and also the larger boats that travel the seas for months, bringing home tuna, sharks and rays.

Although not for the squeamish or faint hearted, you can learn about how fish is sorted, sold and distributed at all levels and it is a fascinating experience and a brilliant photo opportunity.
