Weligama

Weligama is known for its excellent surf conditions, making it one of the best places to learn how to surf in Sri Lanka. The beach features gentle waves, perfect for beginners, and plenty of surf schools offer lessons and board rentals.

The main Weligama Beach is one of the most popular surfing spots, where you can catch waves all day long. If you’re a more experienced surfer, head to nearby Midigama Beach, where the waves can be more challenging.

One of the top attractions of Sri Lanka’s South shore is the picturesque Coconut Tree Hill in Mirissa, near Weligama. This spot has become a particularly popular photo location for travelers looking for the best Insta-worthy locations in Sri Lanka. It is truly a beautiful place and I would suggest visiting it for more than the chance to take your Instagrammable picture. Don’t rush it, walk through the trees and the surroundings and enjoy the stunning views of the Indian Ocean.
