Ventura Beach, Beach destination in Bentota, Sri Lanka
The golden sand beach stretches along the coastline of southern Sri Lanka, offering swimming opportunities in the Indian Ocean's clear waters throughout the year.
The Bentota region developed from a small trading post into a major coastal tourism center during Sri Lanka's economic expansion in the late 20th century.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional methods of fishing along the shoreline, while numerous turtle hatcheries protect and release endangered sea turtle species.
The beach provides facilities for water sports including jet skiing, windsurfing, and snorkeling, with equipment rentals and instructors available through coastal sports centers.
During the November to April season, strong coastal winds create perfect conditions for windsurfing, attracting sports enthusiasts from around the world.
