Riding a scooter out of Bentota
Aluthgama, Induruwa, Beruwala, and Kosgoda are all within about 11 km, and the coast road connecting them is flat and easy — a scooter covers the whole cluster without any real effort.
The longer run to Galle, 56 km south, or up toward Colombo and the airport, adds real distance — comfortable riding, but plan for a fuller day than the short beach-town hops.
