Kalpitiya
Kalpitiya is peninsula that juts out from the northwest coast near Puttalam. Firs flank a beach that extends almost uninterrupted to the very tip of the peninsula, where there’s a ruined Dutch Fort. To the east lies the vast Puttalam Lagoon, where the dancing sails of kite-surfers color the skies during the windier, off-season months of May to September. Kalpitiya is the best area in natural dolphin habitat for dolphin watching experience. From December to March, when the sea is calm in the mornings, it is the ideal time to head out to Talawila reef for some nice early morning snorkeling. At Talawila, you can also make a quick trip to the famous St. Anne’s Church.
