Arugam Bay is a tranquil palm-rimmed town of basic eateries and cabanas lying in the unspoilt southeast coast of the island’s dry zone. It is known as a surfer’s paradise and offers some of the most affordable tourist resorts in Sri Lanka. It’s a terrific location to chill, eat seafood, and enjoy a laid-back party atmosphere. Because it is only a few kilometers away from Yala National Park, the surrounding region provides excellent opportunity for observing birdlife, leopards, crocodiles, and elephants at any time of year.
