About Negombo
Negombo is the town nearest Bandaranaike airport, which makes it the first and last stop for most trips, and it has been a fishing port far longer than a tourist one. A Dutch canal runs behind the beach, the lagoon behind that is fringed with mangrove, and the outrigger fleet still works off the sand.

The main market runs early and is working, wet and crowded. It photographs well but is not a place for delicate clothing.
