Going to share my advice to people going to Sri Lanka (other than what food to try and where) is to not focus on beaches (which are mostly pretty average) and go to the mountains and ancient cities which are unique and amazing.
replyHoppers are not only Sri Lankan - also found in parts of South India and I think in some places in SE Asia.
Same. When I was on a bit of black beach I looked on the internet and found quite a few boats had shed oil along there. Everything else was good though.
