Adventure East

About This Region

Sri Lanka's east coast is a tropical playground. World‑class surf at Arugam Bay, powder‑white sands at Nilaveli and Passikudah, and tranquil lagoons near Batticaloa offer relaxation and adventure far from the crowds of the south. The dry season here runs opposite to the west coast.

Key Highlights

• Arugam Bay – internationally renowned surf break (May–September)
• Nilaveli Beach – calm turquoise waters and soft sands
• Passikudah & Kalkudah – shallow bays ideal for swimming
• Pigeon Island National Park – snorkelling with reef sharks
• Batticaloa Lagoon – stilt‑fishing and Kallady Bridge
