Arugam Bay
A right-hand point break, and a very good excuse to stay a week.
The feeling
One of the best right-handers in Asia draws surfers from across the world, but the bay is just as good for doing nothing at all — a lagoon safari at dawn, a beach shack dinner, an early night before the next swell.
A right-hand point break, and a very good excuse to stay a week.
