Arugam Bay Surfing

Arugam Bay is Sri Lanka’s best-known surfing destination and one of the highlights of the island’s east coast. During the main surf season, consistent swells arrive along a coastline filled with point breaks, sandy beaches and tropical scenery.

Different breaks around the area provide experiences for different ability levels, while experienced surfers can seek out longer and more challenging waves at locations such as Pottuvil Point.

Away from the water, Arugam Bay has a relaxed surf-town atmosphere and provides easy access to beaches, lagoons and wildlife-rich landscapes.
