The best beginner surfing in Sri Lanka: Weligama

Weligama means “sandy village” in Sinhala, and that pretty much sums it up: long, soft waves, warm tropical water, and the ultimate surf-for-everyone energy. In this episode, we break down what makes Weligama one of the best beginner surf destinations in Asia—from its forgiving beach break and all-day boardshort temps, to the booming surf camp scene and solo-traveler-friendly vibe. Come for the waves, stay for the smoothie bowls... and watch out for rogue soft-tops.
