Since Sri Lanka is an island surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, some of the best New Year\u2019s Eve parties obviously happen by the sea. Beachside parties are a common sight during this time of the year, and the best areas for this are Mirissa, Hikkaduwa, Bentota, and Unawatuna. These are by far some of the most magnificent coastal towns in the country that have a great influx of tourists and locals alike during the holiday seasons each year round. So if you are looking to enjoy your New Year\u2019s Eve with a great crowd of people, who know how to have fun, then a beachside party is what you should opt for.<\/p>\n
