During my two visits, I didn't see clean beaches in Colombo (maybe I didn't know the right place to go to). What I saw, though, were the slums between the sea and the luxurious new buildings. There is no sewage system in the slums, so it flows right into the ocean as you try to take a "nice" walk in the seaside.
This brief piece of beach is in a relevantly nice part of Colombo, with presidential residence and a lot of nice hotels in minutes' walk. There is also a playground and numerous fast-food booths, that's why this place is always crowded. We didn't dare to try the food, because we noticed rats running around.
The view was nice though :)
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
The handwritten caption on the backside says "Buddhist Temple in Colombo", Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Is that correct? It looks more like a Hindu building.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - SEP 22, 2016: An unidentified Ananda College student rower out training on the Beira Lake in front of Colombo Lotus Tower in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Colombo Lotus Tower ( The tallest building in South Asia, height 350 meters ) is under construction.
I was lucky enough to have a friend living and working in the Colombo when I visited Sri Lanka some years ago, and as she too is a photography-enthusiast, she guided us to the best districts to walk around. We spent the weekend chatting as we alternated photo-walks with coffee-stops around the city.
There is debate as to how this 5 ha (12 acre) ocean-side urban park came by its name of Galle Face. The space was originally set aside so that the Dutch cannons could watch over the sea and was laid out as a promenade by the British in 1859. The building in the background is our destination for sunset drinks: the Galle Face Hotel – established in 1864.
