If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 30 miles away, Galle is worth hopping in the car for. Galle Fort ought to be at the top of your list here. Unawatuna Beach and Jungle Beach are terrific attractions too. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Western Province, 55 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Jana Kala Kendraya. (But we’re also big fans of Sri Lanka Air Force Museum and Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya.)
