Kalpitiya is one of Sri Lanka’s most exciting and still relatively untouched destinations, a long, narrow peninsula on the northwest coast that juts into the Puttalam Lagoon and is flanked by the open sea. Between November and April, hundreds of spinner and bottlenose dolphins pass through these waters, making Kalpitiya one of the finest dolphin watching locations in Asia. The area is also renowned for world-class kitesurfing, with strong, consistent winds sweeping across the lagoon from May to October.
