Kompannaweediya

If you're spending some time in Kompannaweediya, One Galle Face and Galle Face Beach are top sights worth seeing.

Kompannaweediya
Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Hunupitiya

Hunupitiya might not have many top sights, but Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Hunupitiya
It's a wonderful and different sea beach from other beaches
