Arugam Bay Beach.
Arugam Bay is a fishing village 3 km. south of the small town of Pottuvil. If you follow this sweeping beach you can walk around one of the surf points to a deserted beach that leads down to Crocodile and Elephant Rock from where you quite often can spot wild elephants and crocodiles in the small lagoon. Both north and south of Arugam Bay there are undoubtedly some of the most beautiful beaches in the whole of Sri Lanka.
June 2004 was the first year for the Sri Lankan airlines and the British Professional Surf Association to make the special Champion of Champions Surf Challenge in Arugam Bay. It is decided this is going to be an on going event held every year in June/July.
July 2010 Alan Stokes and Beth Mason win the Arugam Bay Champion of Champions.

Weather: Average temperature is around 30o C throughout the year.
