Weligama
Southern Province
Weligama is a wide, gently curving bay on the south coast, with a fishing community on the shore and beginner-friendly waves. It has become one of the most popular places on the island to learn to surf.
Surf schools rent boards along the beach, and cafes and boutique stays fill the streets behind it. Mirissa, with its whale-watching harbour, is a short drive along the coast, so many guests combine the two.
