A walk around Arugam Bay, has it changed since 2007?
More Samosas, a walk through the hippie market, wait until the end of the video for a YOTW subscriber meet up.

Apart from surfing, Arugam Bay also provides opportunities for other water activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and diving. The area is surrounded by natural beauty, with lush greenery and stunning landscapes. The nearby Kumana National Park and Lahugala Elephant Sanctuary offer wildlife enthusiasts the chance to observe various species of birds, elephants, and other wildlife. Arugam Bay itself has a relaxed and welcoming vibe, with a variety of accommodations, restaurants, and beachside cafes catering to travelers. The local community is friendly and hospitable, making it a popular destination for both international tourists and Sri Lankan visitors.

The positive thing about the civil war is it kept Sri Lanka in a time capsule! I miss those days with out any back packers or family’s with kids and no surf schools! Just hard core surfers and a sleepy fishing village. My 1st time was 1999 and what a raw adventure that was.

Aragum Bay is such a sweet spot and off the beaten track. It and Hikkaduwa real gems for surf.

Pasikuda is also great close to Arugam Bay. Another great place is Talaimannar and KKS beach in Jaffna. Both accessible by train.

Thanks! Will need to check those out 👍

@@yanoftheworld @yanoftheworld Just use the railway map of sri lanka posted online. I believe you get off at Valaichenai station to see Pasikuda on Batticaloa train. There's only 1 train to Talaimannar and 3 or 4 trains to KKS Jaffna. Dont forget to see elephants in lahugala and Kuamana national park while in arugambay.
