Arugam Bay, a moon-shaped curl of soft sand, is a hidden gem located on the east coast of Sri Lanka. As it’s located far from the capital and other tourist attractions, it’s not popular among tourists. Thus, it has managed to retain its small-town charm while gaining popularity among travelers looking to explore some offbeat destinations in Sri Lanka. Known to be a surfer’s paradise, Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka has some of the best beaches in the country.
