Arugam Bay awakens...

The month of September marks the end of the surfing season in Arugam Bay, one of the world’s hot spots in surfing. Despite the reduction in tourist arrivals during the off season, the Arugam Bay beaches are still a great place for relaxation and enjoyment. But for the people who live in the area, be it any season, life goes on as usual.
