December is undoubtedly the best time to board flights for Sri Lanka. The weather is wonderful and the many beaches, that the destination brims with, set the ideal holiday mood. Here is a look at top three entrancing and revitalizing beaches of the nation.

Sri Lanka is a dream holiday destination with a perfect combination of several incredible aspects that compel holidaymakers to visit the nation, time and again. And travellers who are planning December holidays in Sri Lanka are in for a great time as the month is considered the peak season for vacations in the nation. December is the perfect time to sightsee and roam around as the monsoon clouds float away, making for pleasant, hot and dry weather across the entire island. Also, the rains increases the brilliance of the lush green landscape, further making December a remarkable time to explore some of the island’s spectacular beaches. Below is a quick rundown of the most impressive beaches in Sri Lanka that come to the minds of holidaymakers planning to book flights’ tickets for the island nation.

Arugam Bay

The spellbinding Arugam Bay is a moon-shaped beach of soft sands, beautifully festooning the shores of the Indian Ocean. This peaceful surfing town features some of the best waves in Sri Lanka and thus is the top choice of keen surfers disembarking flights in the nation. Although, this little town is much relaxed and secluded than many other seaside towns on the island, it still manages to host many thrilling adventure activities for keeping vacationers engaged and entertained. Travellers must not forget to take a memorable boat ride out to Pottuvil Lagoon, for exploring and experiencing the striking ecosystem of the mangroves. Home to over 70 species of birds and many wild creatures like crocodiles, monkeys and water snakes, Pottuvil Lagoon is the only place in Sri Lanka where the sea meets the jungle!

Hikkaduwa

More than just a shinning beach brimming with turquoise waters and golden sands, Hikkaduwa is a perfect place to enjoy the cafe lifestyle!! Located on the southeast coast of the island, this beach destination enjoys immense popularity among holidaymakers, who seek to make the most of monies spent on tickets aboard flights for perfect holiday. Apart from a plethora of regular fun-filled beach activities including sunbathing and surfing sessions, the beach features many local cafes and restaurants which serve the best of Sri Lankan flavours. Travellers, who wish to experience more than just the beach, may move further north to wander around the small towns of Bentota and Kosgoda, well renowned for their unique turtle conservation methods. Keen riders may even grab a moped and ride along the serene coastline to find their own little piece of heaven.

Negombo

Negombo is a paradise for those having a penchant for adrenaline fun. Situated north of Colombo, this popular town was once a Dutch fort and makes for a great place to start or end vacations in the island nation. Every year, thousands of history lovers book tickets aboard flights arriving in the nation to visit the string of churches that the town is packed with. Also, travellers may experience visiting the local fish markets in the morning to taste the different varieties of fish or just pull up a chair by the seaside and admire the unmatched scenes of sunrise or sunset! It also offers myriad of water-based activities such as jet skiing, surfboarding, and yachting. In the town, vacationers may hire a lovely beach resort and enjoy a relaxing yet luxurious holiday.
