With its fantastic waves, Arugam Bay is a surfers’ dream come true! No wonder, this amazing seafront location on Sri Lanka’s eastern coast attracts surfers from across the world. The most favored season for surfing is from April to October when the average height of the waves reaches 1.5 to 2.5 meters. Apart from surfing, Arugam Bay is also hugely popular for scuba diving and snorkeling. With an elephant corridor in the locality, wildlife enthusiasts will have plenty to do watching jumbos stroll, wild boar and deer snooping around and crocodiles waiting for their prey. For bird watchers, the best season to visit is in November and December when flocks of colorful birds migrate to the area.
