Located on Sri Lanka’s wild east coast, Arugam Bay is a world-renowned surf destination that draws wave riders, backpackers and adventure seekers from across the globe. The bay’s long, consistent right-hand point break is considered among the best surf breaks in Asia, with the season running from April to October. Beyond surfing, the surrounding area offers lagoon safaris where elephants come to drink at dusk, prehistoric archaeological sites and deserted beaches waiting to be explored.
