The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Arugam Bay, Eastern Province

May 14, 2022 Etsuko Causey

Arugam Bay (Tamil: அறுகம் குடா), known locally as "Arugam Kudah", is a bay situated on the Indian Ocean in the dry zone of Sri Lanka's southeast coast, and a historic settlement of the ancient Batticaloa Territory (Mattakallappu Desam). The bay is located 117 kilometres (73 mi) south of Batticaloa, 320 kilometres (200 mi) due east of Colombo, and approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the market town of Pottuvil. The main settlement in the area, known locally as Ullae, is predominantly Muslim, however there is a significant Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhala population to the south of the village, as well as a number of international migrants, largely from Europe and Australia. While traditionally fishing has dominated the local economy, tourism has grown rapidly in the area in recent years. Arugam Kudah's literal Tamil translation is "Bay of Cynodon dactylon". Tourism in Arugam Bay is dominated by surf tourism, thanks to several quality breaks in the area, however tourists are also attracted by the local beaches, lagoons, historic temples and the nearby Kumana National Park.

It so nice, that agent take care not only of tickets, but of saving our money also:) And also we was looking for nice place staying in Ella and Negombo and Sasi find for us nice variation with cheaper price and organise for us one day trip in Ella with visiting Ravanas cave, temple, waterfalls, nine arch bridge and little Adams pick. Thank you Sasi for your kind heart and professional work!
