Going to the beach is one of the best activities you can do when being on an island. And Sri Lanka has so many different beaches located around the country that are perfect for those who love to feel the warm sun rays on their skin and the soft sand on their feet.
As much as most of us would like to think that we get an adequate amount of vitamin D via sun exposure, this is simply not true. Most people in Sri Lanka, even though they are living on an island that has sunshine throughout the year, have vitamin D deficiency. The best-known source to get your daily dose of Vitamin D is sun exposure but due to the extreme weather conditions and humidity, most people avoid being exposed to the sun unless they are on vacation.
Taking a vacation is important to take your mind off the stress that you have on a daily basis from family matters, life, current issues and anything else that is causing you to worry day in and day out. It is important to avoid the hustle and bustle of city life and relax by the beach to get some clarity in your life.
There are so many beach activities for people who would prefer to sweat it out by doing something rather than lounging on a sunchair. If your accommodation is by the beach, for instance, a property such as Mermaid Hotel & Club, then you are fortunate as you can always head back to the hotel when you want to take a break. Kalutara, Mirissa, and Hikkaduwa are popular locations in Sri Lanka for several water sports that one can try.
There is no better way to enjoy a vacation rather than with delicious food paired with cool beverages. You can relax by the beach while feeling the warm breeze on your skin while treating your eyes to the stunning Indian Ocean spreading far and wide to the horizon and enjoying a stunning Sri Lankan sunset that is internationally renowned.
If you are someone who loves to swim, then the ocean is a great place to swim and explore. If you love the sea, you are bound to love diving and snorkelling. And these activities open your eyes and mind to a world that is hidden away from our day-to-day lives. When you see the beautiful schools of fish and the beautiful coral reefs, you will realise the mesmerising quality of nature.
As much as we need to work and study, we also need to spend time in nature, feel the sun on our face, the wind on our body, and the sand on our toes, and there is no better place than the beach to feel all that!
