On the east coast, Arugam Bay has become internationally known for surfing and its relaxed, adventurous atmosphere. The surrounding coastline offers a range of surf breaks, while lagoons, beaches and nearby wildlife areas provide plenty to explore beyond the waves. It is particularly appealing to active travellers who want to combine surfing with nature and local exploration. Arugam Bay’s main surfing season generally falls from May to September, when the east coast benefits from the drier conditions while the south-west is experiencing its monsoon season.
