Arugam Bay

The east coast's finest secret — perfect point breaks and a shoreline barely touched.

Arugam Bay sits on Sri Lanka's east coast, where the monsoon patterns create a surfing season unlike anywhere else on the island. But even for non-surfers, the bay's crescent of pale sand, the lagoons stretching north toward Pottuvil, and the unhurried pace of a town that has not yet been discovered by mass tourism make it one of the island's most rewarding places to simply exist.
