Weligama
South Coast

Weligama

Where everyone learns to surf.

A wide, forgiving bay that is the best place in the country to stand up on a board for the first time.

Every route we run through the south coast passes Weligama, and the question is never whether to include it but how many nights it earns. Our answer is 2 nights — enough to see it at the hour it is worth seeing and still leave in daylight.

Tell a consultant which month you are coming and they will say plainly whether this is the right place for it, or whether the same days are better spent on the other coast.
