Regardless of whether you're passing through or spending a few nights in Beruwela, make sure you visit the Beruwela Harbour and Kande Vihare Temple.

Visitors planning on arriving via Bandaranaike International Airport may plan to book a room at the Full Moon Garden Hotel or the Cockpit Hotel, which are both close.
