Over 3,000 people visit Sri Lanka’s first artificial beach
More than 3,000 people visited Sri Lanka’s artificial beach in the Port City of Colombo in the first two days of its opening on Saturday, state media reported on Tuesday.
The report said it was the first artificial beach built in Sri Lanka, and visitors can enter the beach free of charge.
It added that food stalls with local and foreign cuisine and facilities for swimming and water sports on the artificial beach are available.
Spanning 269 hectares of reclaimed land from the sea, Port City Colombo will comprise five precincts, including the Financial District, Central Park Living, Island Living, the Marina, and the International Island.
