Abstract

COCONUT palms line the unending stretch of white sand. A few boats of fishers bounce on the blue waters. Strong waves crash against the fragile shore. Welcome to the virgin beaches in Kalpitiya along Sri Lanka’s northwestern coast. But the untouched beauty of this 1,700-hectare (ha) peninsula in Puttalam district may not remain so for long. One can already see an occasional bike, or a tourist’s car packed with surfing gear.
