Arugam Bay Beach / ආරුගම් බේ / அறுகம் குடா
The Arugam Bay Beach is a wide sweeping sandy beach in front of the village of Arugam Bay and is an attraction for surfing and swimming all year-round.
වින්ඩ් සර්ෆින් සදහා ලොව හොදම වෙරලක් වන ආරුගම් බේ.. මෙහි බොහොමයක් චායාරූප පාන්දර 5-6 අතර ලබා ගත් ඒවා වේ.
ඇස් අදහාගත නොහැකි තරම් චමත්කාර ජනක සුන්දරත්වයක් සහිත දර්ශනීය මුහුදු තීරයකි.
හිරු රැස් ඉහිරුන දිය තලය මත රන් වන් පැහැ කිරන විහිදෙන විට නැගෙන චමත්කාර බව නෙත් සිත් වශී කරවන බව අමුතුවෙන් කිව යුතුද? අපේ දේශය...අපේ උරුමය...මොහොතකට හෝ එහි යන්න.
Arugam Bay‘s first international surfing competition was held by the ISA (International Surfing Association) in the summer of 2004.
Despite the shocking destruction of the Tsunami on December 26, 2004, the ISA returned in 2005 to give the battered local economy of Arugam Bay a boost. The long and consistent right hand point break at the southern end of the Arugam Bay beach makes it one of the finest surf spot in Sri Lanka as well as Asia.
The Arugam Bay Beach consists of a coral reef which is home to an abundance of tropical fish and is a delightful snorkelling paradise.
Things To Do In Arugam Bay
Surfing : Arugam Bay is renowned for its fantastic waves, which attract surfers from all over the world. Although you can surf here all year round, the most favoured season is from April to October with the average height of waves being 1.5 to 2.5 meters. Main surf spots are Pottuvil point, Main Break and Crocodile Rock.
Dive : You can enjoy diving and snorkelling around Arugam Bay. If you are a serious scuba diver, you can charter a boat and head for the Basses Reefs, which is a “must see” dive site in Sri Lanka.
Wildlife : Catch the rare spectacle of elephants strolling across the A4 through the Lahugala elephant corridor. The best time to catch a glimpse of wildlife such as these gigantic elephants, wild boar, deer and crocodiles is before dawn or at sunset.
Bird Watching : Be over-awed by the flocks of birds that migrate to the Arugam Bay area in the months of November and December.
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.
