Arugam Bay is a crescent-shaped bay beloved by surfers, free spirits and nature lovers from around the world. The surf here is world-class from May to October, with point breaks suited to beginners and experienced riders alike and the laid-back village atmosphere makes it easy to lose track of time entirely. Beyond the waves, the bay sits at the edge of some of Sri Lanka’s most underrated wildlife territory, with Kumana National Park just a short drive away.
