What to do and see in Arugam Bay, Eastern Province: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
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.

Amazing Healers. Very professional and knows what they are doing. Gemunu has been wonderful every single time I've visited. Does an excellent job relieving all the aches and pains, a beginner surfer like me feeling after everyday in the water for a week. The owner, Sameera is very knowledgable in swimmer's injuries and he will guide his therapists to ensure you are pain-free. I totally recommend them and they are very affordable.

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka
This is an ancient Buddhist temple and has a historical and archeological importance. Temple spread across a large area and is located just by the sea as the name implies. This was on spotlight recently due to some ethnic conflicts occurred in the area. Now an army camp is built here and army personnel guard the temple 24x7. We visited during the pandemic and unfortunately the temple was closed for outsiders.
