A very nice sand beach with big waves when I was there. Saw one guy have his hip dislocated by the waves so pays to be careful when swimming. The water was warm, the beach was cleaner than most in Sri Lanka and there was food and drinks available from the restaurants on the beach at affordable prices.

This beach is a nice sheltered bay, where you can swim and surf withour being hit by the huge waves and the strong current which is common at the southern part of Sri Lanka. There are a few restaurants on the beach, they provide beach chairs if you eat or drink there.

The surfing in Weligama was the best ever, our whole family enjoyed the gentle waves and there was plenty of space, never felt crowded. The water was warm and nice. Will definitely come back on next surf trip with the family
