Kalpitiya sits on a narrow peninsula along Sri Lanka’s northwest coast and remains one of the least visited beach destinations on the island. The lagoon that separates the peninsula from the mainland creates flat water conditions that make Kalpitiya one of Asia’s top kitesurfing locations. Spinner dolphin pods of several hundred animals are regularly spotted just offshore between November and March.
Sri Lanka Tour Organizer includes dolphin watching, lagoon boat safaris, and kitesurfing in this Kalpitiya beach tour. The area suits travellers who want a genuine alternative to the busier south coast resorts.
