"When travelling to Colombo, Sri Lanka, many tourists consider beach hotels to be the best option. However, there are many advantages to staying in the city rather than by the ocean.

Colombo has a rich culture and history that is on display in the many temples and museums located in the city. There are also a variety of shopping and dining options available. And unlike some beach towns, Colombo is a safe place to stay, with plenty of security measures in place.

The beaches in Colombo are not as nice as those in other areas of the country. They are often crowded and polluted, and there is no shortage of seaweed. In addition, the cost of staying in a beach hotel is often higher than staying in a hotel in the city.

Overall, I think that Colombo is a better option than beach towns for tourists travelling to Sri Lanka. The city has a lot to offer, and it is a safe and convenient place to stay.".
