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!
A walking tour with a companion and a camera is a great way to get to know the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and to absorb the local colour and history.

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.
