Crow Island Beach Park

Kite Flying-There is perhaps nothing as unconventional yet aesthetic as flying a kite. Kite flying is a favourite activity amongst visitors to Crow Island Beach. Like most seaside locations, the beach witnesses moderate to heavy winds, suitable for the sport.

Fitness Activities-Crow Island Beach Park has several picturesque trails for anyone looking to walk, jog or cycle; these trails pass through a stunning inlet, mangrove trees and marshes. A watchtower also lies amid the trails, where one can enjoy the panorama of the surrounding area. Kids can entertain themselves at a dedicated children’s’ play area, or even enjoy horse riding.

Shopping, Food and Drink-With a plethora of beach huts and shops scattered along the paths, there is no shortage of good food at Crow Island Beach; these shops mainly sell Sri Lankan snacks and beverages. Barracuda, a famous Sri Lankan seafood restaurant chain, also has an outlet here. The restaurant serves mostly Sri Lankan, Chinese and Indian fare. The stores at Crow Island Beach also sell toys and other knick-knacks.

Relax-A viewing platform at the beach lets you gaze across the ocean and enjoy the views of the Colombo Harbour as ships sail in. The benches under the trees offer a brief respite from the heat.
