Arugam Bay is one of the 10 best beaches for surfing.
It is a bay on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka, bordering the dry zone of the Indian Ocean, approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) south of the market town of Pothuvil and 320 km (200 mi) east of Colombo. . It was called Ullai and the southern part of the village had a significant Tamil and Sinhalese population. There are also a number of international migrants, mostly from Europe and Australia. While fishing has traditionally dominated the local economy, tourism has grown rapidly in the area in recent years.
But most of the buildings in Arugambay were destroyed by the 2004 tsunami and the government's Ministry of Defense (Department of Coastal Conservation) bulldozed all the coastal structures, creating the current village in the second "tsunami" of Arugambay at the end of September 2011.
Arugam Bay provides berthing for a large number of fishing vessels operating from the coast. After the tsunami, many organizations donated boats and as a result, there are more fishing vessels than ever before. The main beach is a bit dirty compared to the nearby beaches as it is beautiful and has great waves.
