Arugam Bay sits on Sri Lanka's east coast, far from the typical tourist trail, and has earned a global reputation as one of Asia's finest surf destinations. The main point break produces long, consistent right-handers ideal for intermediate and advanced surfers. A few kilometres north, Peanut Farm Beach is a quieter, undeveloped point break favoured by those seeking uncrowded waves and wild coastline. The surf season runs from April to October.
