Great place to hang with the locals in Colombo. Lots of food stalls/trucks and you can usually find a crowd flying kites . Come just before sunset to watch the flag-lowering ceremony!

A good place to hangout with your friends and your loved ones while having some isso wade and some roti . Are you right after a boot?this is the place to relax your mind. (from my personal experience)

Nice place to come and see locals enjoying the sea. A lot of streetfood options. Good for sunset observation. If you want to do it with a drink in your hands, go to Galle Face Hotel .

Evening sunset at the sea is beautiful.. People all around enjoying.. children playing kites with the shape and design of birds, different small food shops.. Enjoyable place to be.

Locals gather here in the evenings to relax with their families, picnicking or to fly kites ; with a good breeze and fresh air it is also a favorite place for many to come for walks and exercise.
