Two Sri Lankan beaches make Forbes’ top 10

 

A beach stretch from Tangalle Bay to Weligama and Bentota have been named among the top 10 in Asia by Forbes, a world renowned business magazine.

The beaches were judged by a panel which included Graham Uden, a photographer based in Hong Kong and John Borthwick, a Sydney-based travel writer and photographer.

"Sri Lanka has beautiful beaches on its southwest coast, from the southern tip up towards Colombo," Uden said.

"It's a beautiful coastline with rugged rocks, plus sandy beaches and coconut groves. There are fishermen that stand on poles. They stand there for hours, just fishing from these poles."
