Hailed as one of the best surfing destinations
in the world, many events are held each year under the patronage of Sri
Lanka Tourism Authority to promote this beach, the ones to watch are
regional championships held each year in May – June. Arugambay is
located on southeast corner of the island in close proximity to Kumana,
which is one of the best places for birdwatchers, and Lahugala another
destination to observe elephants in Sri Lanka.
Further inland rising out of the
line of trees in the distance one spots the lonely rock, standing above
the rest called Kudumbigala. A stone inscription located here states
that the monastery was built and gifted by Nandimithra, one of the ten
generals (referred as giants) of King Duttugemunu in the pre-Christian
era, Panama is an economical beach vacationers paradise for those with a
constricted budget.
