What is the Coast Line railway in Sri Lanka?

The Coast Line is the rail route running south from Colombo Fort along the Indian Ocean coastline to Matara. It passes through major stops including Kalutara, Aluthgama, Hikkaduwa, and Galle, serving both commuters and tourists travelling the western and southern coast.

Is it better to travel the southern coast by train or by road?

Both are viable, but the train offers a more relaxed and often faster journey than driving the A2 coastal highway, which can experience heavy traffic especially during peak season and public holidays. The rail route also passes close to the shoreline in several places, offering views not accessible by road.
