) is considered Sri Lanka's best. From April to
September you'll find surfers riding the waves; stragglers catch the random good
days as late as November. Throughout the year you can revel in the surfer vibe:
there are board-rental and ding-repair joints plus plenty of laid-back cheap
hangouts offering a bed on the beach. And if you need solitude, there are fine
breaks at nearby Lighthouse Point, Whiskey Point and Okanda.
