About Arugam Bay

Arugam Bay is Sri Lanka's premier surf destination on the remote east coast. With world-class point breaks, a bohemian beach vibe, and nearby lagoons and wildlife, it attracts surfers and adventurers from around the globe.

Arugam Bay's long right-hand point break is world famous, but there are gentler waves at Whiskey Point and Baby Point for beginners too. Between surf sessions, take a lagoon safari at Pottuvil to spot elephants and crocodiles, visit the ancient beachside Muhudu Maha Viharaya, or relax in the town's bohemian cafés. The surf season peaks from May to September.
