Sunsets in Sri Lanka

Beautiful Sunsets In Sri Lanka

I have to say that I have been very lucky to enjoy some really spectacular sunsets in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is a small tropical island just off the southern tip of India. It's hot all year round with day time temperatures ranging between 23-32degrees. There are no seasons like spring or winter, it's either hot and dry or hot and raining. The only real difference is the ferocity of the rain as the tropical storms are loud and crazy. Unstoppable lighting strikes often bring down power lines plunging cities into darkness and without electricity for days. The wild monsoon rains lead to flooding and landslides and cause havoc with transport, but it's not everyday and quite often the rains bring a welcome relief to the constant heat.

Get a Torch!

Unlike Europe sunrise and sunset takes place at much the same time everyday. By 6.30pm the sun has vanished behind the sea and by 7pm everything is black, if your out in the villages or more secluded beaches you really do need a torch!

Romantic Sunsets

Watching the sunset on the beach is a really beautiful experience, golden sands, warm sea and a cooling breeze. There's no need for a jumper or wrap as the air is still warm, it's glorious. To sit on a quiet beach with just the noise of nature around you watching the sun sink is really joyous. If you are lucky you might get to see the odd turtle popping it's head above the waves and no doubt there will be a stray dog loitering nearby begging for some friendly company. And if you are really really lucky you might even see the fabled green flash the shoots across the horizon just as the sun waves it's last goodbye.

Even if you are not a romantic and sunsets aren't a real big deal for you, that doesn't matter sunset is still a great time to enjoy the beach. Find a nice bar get yourself a beer and just relax.
