Sri Lanka is a year-round destination. The island's tropical beaches are unanimously breathtakingly beautiful and influenced by two opposing monsoons that affect the weather, ocean currents, and when and where you should travel. It's Crafted from a 1340km (833-mile) coastline, and countless topographically varied beaches, coves, and bays attract sun-seekers, fun lovers, and surfers throughout the year. Wildlife plays its part too – beaches are vital nesting grounds for endangered marine turtles, while blue whales, turtles, and dolphins are sighted at sea.
