Good morning, coming to Arugam Bay today. I take the 9:30 – train from Nuwara Eliya to Badulla. Looking for a taxi from Badulla to Arugam Bay. Is there a possibility to go from there with a taxi?
Thank you!

It is with sadness that I must report a recent event of attempted rape by a local school teacher on a western girl to you.
In August this year the young, 27 year old teacher and imam from the Aragum Bay school attempted to rape an Australian girl.
He took her from the town in his own tuk-tuk to site see along the coast and then for over five hours sexually harassed her by stopping at remote places and trying to kiss her and to feel her body. She was in shock from this and was sobbing and crying to go home so he would then stop and drive on saying her was taking her back to Aragum Bay and would then stop again and try to molest her.
She was very lucky that his attempts failed. When they finally came back to the town he put on his imam clothes over his normal clothes and told her to say nothing and anyway he was an imam and no-one would believe her story because she was just a western girl.
When he was trying to rape her he asked “Do you like kissing” “Do you like sex”.
He said “you should have sex – it is nothing – I have sex all the time with my students and it is something nothing”
She ran from the town as soon as she returned. She said nothing to anyone until she was safe back in Australia. Now she has given her story and we are very worried for her as she is still in shock. The men in my town wish to come to Aragum Bay and smash this teacher. They are now organizing flights. She has given them photos of the man and he will be found and smashed. This they promise.
The man tried to rape a western girl and he admitted to her that her has sex with his students. Maybe that sex is forced on those students also.
I write to warn the good families and parents of the school that their male teacher 27 who is also their imam is a very bad person and should not be allowed to be a representative of Islam or be a teacher of children.
I hope that he is found and stopped from all contact with children and women and that he is flogged with a cane 50 times because he brings evil to your homes and your good names.
thank you for reading this.
May you care for your children and you community

Visa extension.
Any way to extend a visa without going to Colombo?
Sorry Maureen,
So far there is no recognized kite surfing school, rental place or indeed instructor in the Bay of Arugam.

Hi,
There are 3 of us heading to A-bay round 25th July. Flight arrives from Delhi in Colombo at 10:15pm. If we pre-book the taxi shuttle can we drive straight from airport after we land overnight to A-bay?
Same question for return flight to Delhi. Flight leaves 2:10pm, can we arrange shuttle from A-bay back to airport for our specific flight times?
Feedback appreciated.
Thanks, Oliver
Actually, Vic,
As from March and certainly April there will be DAILY transfers from the airport to AbaY and back.
Judging by experience from last year,that continues to october or so.
The 100% NON profit Arugam Bay Taxi Initiative has been set up to bring people together and encourage sharing the rides and costs.
We do not have the cash to maintain an expensive counter at the airport.
And we don’t send any vehicles all the way unless they are pre-ordered, using the online link on this page.
Why?
Because too often our poor drivers went all that way.Only to find out that there was no flight,no passengers: A wild Goose chase.
By default,any order placed invites other passengers. And that system usually works fine.
But someone has to take the initiative.
Our passengers are all very Happy with this safe,secure and economical arrangement.

I would really appreciate a quick response.

Hi everyone
I am traveling to Arugam Bay with another person on 20th of Septebmer in 5 days.
Is there anyone who would wish to share a taxi from Colombo Airport?
Thank you
cheers
Without doubt,
Florian,
The East Coast (i.e. “Arugam Bay”) is by far the best surf spot on this island.
Right up to the end of October.
When the tides turn.
Hi,
I would like to come surfing to Sri Lanka from the 15th of September until the the 10th of October.
I have heard that you could surf in the south and in the east sides of Sri Lanka. What would be the best place for the concerned period ?
Thanks a lot 🙂
Florian Pistone
Hi marty thinking of coming over 14th sept for a couple of weeks. o/night in Colombo at hotel J do you have any suggestions who to get for the transfer to your place.

Surf is still somewhat small.
Sandy Beach has so far not shared any information with us.
We are a 100% FREE Community Service – open to anyone.
But we simply don’t have the resources to run behind guys who chose not to work with us.
hi Guys
How’s the surf looking? We will be arriving on 6 june for a week. I see the list of hotels on the side of the page but I don’t see the Sandy Beach Hotel, where we will be staying. is there any reason for that?
thanks
Barry

Thank you,Dear Mr. Kaushali!
Students and children, specially, are always Happy and most impressed when they visit our remote area.
Lahugala is not really as sanctuary as as such.
It is a open, non-fenced small National Park.
A tiny, but beautiful one!
Still there is NO entrance hut, not any fee to pay, No silly Jeep to rent or whatever.
In fact, the only road leading to Arugam Bay (via PottuVille) from the West transits right through the park itself. This is the A4 (known as, and starting as: “High Level Road” in Colombo).
The unique experience already starts when you try to reach our little resort!
If you come at night, chances are that totally FREE and WILD elephants will block you path.
They often hang around the middle of our only main road (A4)
But there is NO DANGER at all!
Give them some respect.
Back up a yard or two.
And:
After a few tense minutes they will ALWAYS -slowly- majestically- move back into to jungle and you are safe to proceed.
Ask the Wild Life Dept. for additional info.:
It’s their job! – Not really ours 😉
I am a teacher and we are planing to take the students of our school on a trip to arugam bay and to lahugala national park. Can we visit lahugala sanctuary any time or do we have to take permission? If so how to take? Please help me in this.
Thank you
Kaushali

We never seen Arugam Bay and all it’s 10 other breaks go completely “Flat”.
There is always a place to surf.
Just don’t listen to others. Come along and form your own opinion.
Hi guys.
I am on my way to Arugam at the moment. I actually want to spend the next 3 days in the highlands and the move on to Arugam. Unfortunately it seems like there won’t be much swell next week. Do you think there will be any surf at all next week? Do you think it would be worth skipping the highlands to at least catch some surf on Saturday and Sunday before Arugam goes flat.
I hope to hear from you soon!!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards.
Ulrich
And may we also know:
“Why” ?
pls ring me on 0777761566
Thanks, Nigel.
We will try to clarify the position with the relevant authorities. And post their answer here for all to see.
In the past, during all those war years, Arugam Bay was totally left alone. As a result, anything was possible and nobody interfered.
Now, as the long civil war is thankfully over, all sorts of laws, rules and regulations are imposed on our remote Bay.
Many of which we never knew about.
That is why we cannot give you a proper answer right now.
Dear Info
Please can you advise if spearfishing is legal in SL and is there any charter operating in ABay?
I will be kitesurfing and spearfishing if possible this coming may is the wind expected to pick up in May?
Look forward to your reply
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Simon,
No. Sorry, Simon!
So far there is no proper diving centre here at AbaY.
The best place for a great adventure, incl. dive trips to the WW2 sunken aircraft carrier “HMS Hermes” is located North oif Arugam Bay, near Kalmunai and Batticaola.

Hi,
I’m planning to go to Arugam Bay in April. But I’m more the diver than the surfer. Is there any Scuba Dive Center that offers guided Dive Tours and provide equipment?
Thanks
Simon
Michael,
March is the month when surf conditions change.
From the South Coast to the East Coast. Early March might be better waves in thye South.
But even now, as we write, Arugam bay has perfect, dry, mild and not too hot weather and perhaps ideal small waves for beginners.
Plus: Now, and up to end March there will be no crowds in the surf.
It’s up to you:
Try both resorts!
They are only a few hours from each other.
Hello
I’m planing to visit Sri Lanka in March. I’m a beginner surfer and I’m interested in surfing. What spot do you recommend for me to visit with you. Do you think it will be better to go south or east coast to Arugam Bay.
Thanks
Michael
