Wadduwa is a beautiful coastal city that is popular among both locals and foreigners. The area generates a massive crowd in terms of tourism owing to the spotless stretches of beach and surfing opportunities that it offers. With the thriving tourism in the area, many a hotel in Wadduwa has sprung up alongside the beach to allow the best beach access to its residents. The Blue Water Wadduwa is one option among many others for any visitors to find accommodation in the area on vacation. The area offers a multitude of other attractions apart from the coastal line such as the historically and culturally significant Kalutara Temple that many locals stop at on their way in order to pay homage and receive blessings from. A visit to this beautiful shrine erected in serene surroundings in the bustling city is said to bestow a lot of peace and clarity to the visitor. The Richmond Castle which was recently opened to the public carries the remnants of the once powerful British Colonial reign. The stunning architecture and historic importance of this ancient site is not to be missed. The Brief Gardens, known more commonly among locals as the “Bevis Bawa Gardens” are also in the nearby area. Created and envisioned by Bawa, the amazing vistas perfectly match the almost magical landscaping of these gardens that offer a natural haven for tired travelers to this day.
Pahiyangala, is another famous rock cave location that is rapidly gaining popularity among visitors to the area.
