Arugam Bay
Arugam Bay is located on Sri Lanka’s east coast and is a popular surfing destination. Devastated by the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, Arugam Bay has bounced back with many small guest houses now open for business. While getting to Arugam Bay from Colombo is quite a long journey (almost a 7 hour drive!), the sea and surf does not disappoint visitors who make the trek. Travellers are rewarded with possibly some of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. So if you are a surfing enthusiast or are simply looking for peace and tranquillity without the luxury of large hotels, then Arugam Bay is definitely the place to head to.
