It is home to many varieties of color fishes and sea creatures. The reef is situated 3 Kms from the shore and it is 12 Kms by boat from the starting point. Snorkeling Bar Reef in Kalpitiya Bar Reef is a natural beauty and Kalpitiya has the largest and most untouched coral reef in Sri Lanka.
Lesser known than Hikkaduwa or the Beruwela Barbryn reef but the biggest of the three, Kalpitiya bar reef sanctuary is a pristine system of coral reefs just offshore of the Kalpitiya peninsula. The reef was declared a sanctuary in 1992 and covers an approximate area of 306sq.km.
Home to over 156 species of coral and 283 species of fish with greater biodiversity than any other found around the Indian Ocean. Lying about an hour’s boat ride from the Kalpitiya town, a known hotspot for reef sharks, manta rays, and occasionally turtles, in our opinion a week’s holiday here of snorkeling and diving will barely scratch the surface of what’s on offer. The waters are crystal clear and the depth is from 2 to 8 meters while further out it can increase up to 40m.
