Seafood delicacies on the Coast

Demi HEWAMANNA

Everyone loves dining under the stars, listening to the waves crashing softly to the shore and of course on a Full Moon night, no place is greater than been on the beach with your loved one, friends or even just you.

Well now you can experience this and a whole lot more at the newest restaurant to make waves on beach located down Wasala Road, Dehiwela which is none other than The Coast.

This new restaurant is the brainchild of Narendhra Seelantha and Chethika Karunaratne who are the co-proprietors of the place. Chethika hosted a couple of media personnel and friends to have a first hand experience on the new location, food and of course wonderful ambiance.

Taking us on a tour into the mangroves of the place, Chethika showed us how they have allocated space for private dining, family gathering, engagement parties or other events keeping to the natural beauty of the place. Open for both lunch and dinner, the wooden menu showcases a list of seafood dishes, meat, rice, soups to salads, dessert and chilled beverages.

Chethika added that their seafood delicacies are fresh off the fisher folks who go fishing daily and their cuisine ranges from Chinese, Italian and our very own Sri Lanka recipes. Apart from lunch and dinner, there are the ones who love to just come sit by the beach, enjoy the waves, have an icy juice or cocktail and watch the sun sink into the ocean while leaving spots of sparkles in the night sky.

The Coast is home to not just open to local guests but to foreign nationals and tourists who love to explore the beaches of the country and of course find a spot to relax and take a cool dip into the ocean. After a great show of fireworks and we began to chit chat as we were served our dinner one really doesn’t feel the time flying when you are with a great company, interesting topics to talk about and simple bliss to accompany the ambiance on the Coast.
