The sunny golden beach of Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka’s East Coast is one of the top attractions in the Sri Lanka’s beach destinations. Arugam Bay, which is located 230 km East of Colombo, is one of the best surfing and tourist destinations in the world. Though it is world famous, the most significant thing is the absent of star class hotel in the area. Out of popular surfing joints, Ranga’s Beach Hut stands tall among the visitors to the area. Ranga’s Beach Hut started its operation in 1989 with just a restaurant and two Cabanas. After all these years of terrorists threats and 2004 tsunami, the Hut developed into a popular seafood place and now with 7 Cabanas and six standard rooms.
The resort is now in full operations and a massive refurbishment is under way to cater to the influx of tourists to Arugam Bay, after the liberation of East. ‘I am certain that the golden beaches of Arugam Bay will soon be another ‘Hikkaduwa’ and the arrivals have gone up since last few months’ said Ranga Krishnarajan, the proprietor with much hope. The service at Ranga’s Beach Hut is homely. The food delicious, offering the catch of the day straight from the Bay beach, fish, jumbo prawns, king crabs, cuttlefish and lobsters are the name of the day. It makes up the mouth watering menu in addition to the usual Western and Eastern cuisine. Guests are also offered pure curd made of fresh milk available in plenty and fresh fruits at Arugam Bay. Ranga’s Beach Hut offers a host of tourist attractions. It lies midway between two popular National Parks, Lahugala National Park and Kumana Bird Sanctuary, which is the eastern border of Yala National Park. Lahugala is only13 k.m. and Kumana Bird Sanctuary is only 30 km from Ranga’s Beach Hut. A host of heritage sites and ruins dating back to the 5th century are in close proximity to the resort. |

Metoclopramide buy australia #59 Ruwangi Place is a simple wooden hut hidden in the back Streets of AbaY, very near to #58 Rupas.
The most striking impression of this Place is a sign on the table in the front garden:
“Best Arugam Bay Rice & Curry” followed by a very modest: …..I think…
The funny thing is: EVERYBODY agrees!
Even the world’s favorite traveler’s Bible/Koran, the totally-out-of-date-at-time-of-print “Looney Planet” got this one right! For a Change.
And they even listed #59Ruwangi in the ‘old’ 2006 edition. For a change! i think…!
The great cook and friendly landlady, which actually is little Ruwangi’s mother, has a very hard time since husband Samman was sent off to work away from the family home. Playing the single mum role, she really tries her best to keep the family together and earn a little honest income.
The almost impossible happened: In face of maybe 1,000 other R&C (Rice & Curry) competitors around the famous Bay everybody -so far- agrees that she has beaten them all to fame.
By simply producing the VERY Best, VERY cheap, fresh, usually vegetarian RICE & Curry in the entire Bay.
Let’s have YOUR feedback!
Was it really your favourite All-YOU-can-Eat R&C ?
#58 Rupa’s Cabanas: Together with other originals “Sooriya’s” and “Beach Hut” old Mr. Rupas completes the Famous Three representing Arugam Bay hospitality at its best, for more than quarter of a rather difficult Century.
Rupas Cabanas are located at the Southern end of the Bay, near famous Surf Point.
Family run, a new beach side restaurant, clean and also modern rooms and a great reputation; this sums up “Rupas”.
A good German friend has designed the first ever home page of Rupas and we will post the direct link below as soon as soon as the web site is completed.
Do you have any better photos of your time at Rupas?

#54 Shashni Beach Resort is an interesting, 2006 creation.
The strip of land just South of #50 SVH has been used by Tangalle resident Mr. Sudumathia (“The White Guy”) for many years as a fish packing centre. The Ceylon Fishing Corporation operated an ice crushing plant next door. Daily, fish was transported to the main market in Colombo in cool trucks; later a regular bus service AbaY-Monaragala-Hikkaduwa was added to this transport only operation.
The noisy and very smelly fish business stopped rather suddenly in Dec. 2004 when the ice plant was washed away and never rebuild.
Good luck had it that suddenly many boats and engines were given away by many uncoordinated agencies, and it seemed that the former fishmonger became a proud, multiple fishing boat or -fleet owner.
Mid 2006 seen another piece of good fortune for the Sudu family. Somehow the former transport yard was cleaned up and a brand new hotel resort was constructed.
In ten nice, colourful bungalows and a few budget cabanas were build, adding choice and a very central location to stay in the Bay.
Neighbours are also happy, because the former business caused some conflict, because the bad smell and noise was never apprechiated by any visitor on holiday in the Bay.
#54 Shashni has only been in operation a few months, but proved itself as a popular, well positioned little resort, in the very centre of Arugambay, right next door to the also noisy SVH.
A popular figure is #54 Shashini’s Motilium online canada own cook, Shabdeen, who gained his multiple skills in almost all surrounding guest houses at some stage.
However, not many small guest houses in Ceylon can boast to have a proper (#39) Diovan vs generic Hillton trained chef on board these days….
Purchase emsam withdrawal symptoms Order oxytrol online #51 HangLoose Hotel was known as #51 GrassRoof Hotel for many years before it changed the name.
Muslim owned and run, #51 has always been very popular with Israeli Surfers, who felt very much at home in the former GrassRoof.
Mr. Farook, who was known to have a high, distinctive voice is the manager when he can spare time from this other jobs as local teacher in the Muslim college or his duties with the Arugam Bay Tourist Association or rubbish Collection service.
Lucky that Mr. Rasool is on hand, every day, to look after guests and frequent People’s Bank Congresses held at #51 HangLoose.
Rascal Rasool is slowly, but surely becoming another AbaY original.
Meet him one day and you you are certain to have Great Respect!
Meet him later that night: He will respect you, for sure.
#51 HangLoose offers rooms at good rates, is known for good food and nice vibes.
For the 2011 season we are informed that air conditioned rooms have also been added to the range of budget accommodation.
Cheap indocin dosage #47 Hawky’s Atarax shipping is not quite the same as #46 AbaY Surf shop.
But the two are connected, one is a shop, the other owns a piece of land where you may find accommodation; under construction during 2006.
#46 AbaY Surf Shop has been moved in 2005 to its present location.
Previously, and for many years, Hawky’ Surf Shop was located directly opposite #50 Siam View, and next door to #40 Hello Madam, Mark 2.
Hawky, real name is Mr. Hawkings, is a model of your clichee veteran Aussie surfer: From Victoria, long blond hair, has only one focus in life: That is called “Surf”.
His passion brought him to Arugam Bay many years ago; he certainly is an AbaY original.
Hawky married locally, they have an active little son called ….”Surfing” (..what did you expect..?…)
If his Tamil wife had not persisted, for years,A?A? the family would without doubt still be here, at AbaY.
The lack of any decent school, where all kids can learn together and respect each other’s cultures and backgrounds was one great chance all the NGO’s have missed out on. None was ever constructed.
Sadly, the Hawk family decided toA?A? relocate to Australia, a stable Country with a much better approach to recial harmony. And a proper, non-seperatist school to sent a son to.
Although the Hawks missed all the Tsunami exitement and watched it only on Aussie TV, nearly all boards were saved andA?A? the shop reopened in a new location during 2006.
It is now run by distant relatives, but the services offered are still a direct, goodA?A? result of Hawkies expertise and detailled knowledge concerning all surf related issues.
Board repairs, rentals, local info, and maybe some budget accommodation:
This is what you can expect and find at #46 AbaY Surf Shop!
