Arugam Bay

Arugam Bay is widely regarded as the surfing capital of Sri Lanka and ranks among the top ten surf destinations in the world. Located on the dry southeast coast, its unique geographical position ensures long, clean, and consistent right-hand point breaks that are a dream for surfers. The prime season runs from April to October, attracting a global community of wave riders who transform this quiet fishing village into a vibrant, multicultural hub. Beyond the waves, 'A-Bay' offers a laid-back, bohemian atmosphere that sets it apart from the rest of the island. The evenings are defined by beach bonfires, live music, and rustic cafes. Additionally, its proximity to Kumana and Lahugala National Parks means you are never far from the wild; it is one of the few places on earth where you can surf in the morning and spot a wild leopard or elephant on a safari in the afternoon.
