Tell me, please, what month to choose for a beach holiday and excursions, not catching the rainy season? Where in the island is it worth staying for a beach holiday?

Responsible Alexey Novikov, My Lanka
Between May and October, the best beach holiday in the east of the island. Wide beaches and calm ocean. You can consider the hotels Nilaveli Beach, Chaaya Blue, Pigeon Island. From the minuses of the region - a complete lack of infrastructure, in the evening there is no place to go.

From November to April it is good in the west and south of the island: from Kalutara to Mirissa.

In August, you can also go to Unawatunu in the south. There are waves, but not strong. Sometimes, short rains are possible. But this is the peak of the fruit season in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka can be visited all year round. There is no pronounced seasonality there. You can stop on any coast of the island. The most popular beaches are Bentota - Beruwela, Negombo, Kalutara
