Best Things to Do in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka

Best Things to Do in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka

I’m about to tell you about the most amazing things in Arugam Bay!! throughout my first visit to Sri Lanka, I supposed to stay here for ten days. It’s a small city with only one main street of outlets, restaurants, and board rentals.

Arugam Bay and surfing in Sri Lanka has been the main place of many travelers for the last couple of years. There is a good reason for it. Arugam bay surfing, soft waves ocean, diliouse foods, tuk-tuks and some of the Hospitable People you will ever meet… the list goes on. These are top reasons why travelers said: “Arugam Bay is a great place to travel to and surf”.

(1) ARUGAM BAY SURFING

Arugam Bay is one among the world’s prime water sports destinations, therefore if you go all the reply there and don’t a minimum of attempt to log on — then you’ve created a large mistake.

There are three main surfing spots to choose from:

Main Point:  this is the surf spot actually located in Arugam Bay.  Every morning you’ll see dozens of surfers out there catching some quality waves.  This is recommended more for intermediate to advanced surfers.

Whiskey Point:  About a 15 minute drive from Arugam Bay is this famous surf spot.  It’s a really beautiful beach as well, and can provide some excellent waves for beginner surfers.  You’ll also notice heaps of people on surfing lessons.

Peanut Farm:  About 25 minutes from Arugam Bay is this awesome tucked away beach / surf spot.  Very popular, and highly recommend.

(2) YOGA

I feel like surfing destinations always seem to be yoga destinations as well, and Arugam Bay is no exception.  When you’re walking up and down the main street, you’ll see that there are tons of yoga places. It’s a great way to start the day, get some exercise, and relax a bit.  🙂

I joined a couple classes at the Stardust Beach Hotel my first visit, and had a great session.  Definitely worth checking out, and it’s also a nice place to stay if you’re looking for a nice Arugam Bay hotel.  Read Reviews & Check Availability.

(3) RENT A MOTO & EXPLORE

This is one of my favorite things to do while traveling around Asia.  I love the feeling you get when you’re exploring on a scooter. The roads around Arugam Bay are excellent, and there’s some really beautiful stuff to see.  My advice would just be to drive down Panama & Kumana National Park.

(4) BEACH DAYS

Arugam Bay is a beautiful and long beach that is perfect just to chill at all day.  Grab a book, a fresh coconut, and a towel — you’re not going to want to move. Take a dip in the ocean, play some beach volleyball, or just work on your tan.

(5) EXPLORE PANAMA TANK

Diving through the Panama Tank on a moto is an absolute must.  It’s a short 15-20 minute ride from Arugam Bay, and there’s basically just one path to drive along and explore.  The landscape is stunning and perfect for taking photos, and you’ll probably see a few crocodiles.

(6) KUMANA NATIONAL PARK

You’ll see signs all over Arugam Bay for booking a Kumana safari.  This is in Yala East, so it’s definitely recommended if you haven’t done any safaris in Sri Lanka.  You’ll see heaps of elephants, and if you’re lucky can spot a leopard. Sri Lankan is known for having beautiful and great safari experiences, so definitely look into it.  Should cost around $30-$35 U.S.D

(7) WHISKEY POINT FRIDAY NIGHTS

Arugam Bay is also the main party destination in Sri Lanka, and Friday nights at Whiskey Point should not be missed.  Beautiful people at a beautiful location, great music, and lots of dancing. Once the arrack starts pouring, you’ll be glad you went.

(8) MAMBO’S SATURDAY NIGHTS

The legendary weekly beach party at Mambos’ is an absolute must for anyone visiting Arugam Bay.  It’s honestly so much fun, and was one of the highlight’s of my time in the country. I’ve been three different times now, and each time was a solid night.

The music basically doesn’t stop until everyone leaves, and the hard-core party people always make it to the sunrise!  The music is really groovy deep / tech-house, and the party is always bumping.

(9) DINNERS AT BEACH HUT

The Beach Hut is handily my favorite place to remain in Arugam Bay, however if you’re not sleeping there — a minimum of pop on over for the daily dinner specials. they’re delicious and intensely low cost. I’m talking around $3-4 for a good sized meal. If you’re there for a fish-BBQ night, then positively have intercourse.

It’s conjointly a good place to fulfill folks, as everybody United Nations agency is staying there just about has dinner along.
