Weligama Bay
Three unhurried days based in Weligama Bay, one of the best beginner surf spots in Asia thanks to its long, gentle, sandy-bottomed waves. Certified instructors handle the surf lessons, and the rest of the time is built around the coast — stilt fishermen at sunset, beach hopping toward Mirissa, and cafés that don't rush you out.
Day by day
Transfer to Weligama, settle in, then head straight to the beach for your first surf lesson with a certified instructor — Weligama's gentle break is ideal for first-timers.
Morning surf session to build on yesterday's basics, then a walk through the local fish market before heading to the harbour at sunset to watch — and photograph — Sri Lanka's famous stilt fishermen.
A relaxed morning beach-hopping toward Mirissa, with time for a coffee stop and free swimming, before your driver transfers you onward or to the airport.
