The Arugam Bay surf beach is located 314 km from Colombo and 2 ½ km south of the small town of Pottuvil in the Ampara District which belongs to the Dry Zone along the South-East coast of Sri Lanka.Lovely Arugam Bay, a moon-shaped curl of soft sand, is home to a famed point break that many regards as the best surf spot in the country. It's a tiny place, with a population of a few hundred, and everything is dotted along a single road which parallels the coast. So, in other words, the epitome of the laid-back beach scene that first drew surfers and sun-seekers to Sri Lanka.
