Pottuvil Beach is popular among surfers. Located near Sri Lanka’s surfing Mecca of Arugam Beach, it is a location to sunbathe and relax on the long stretch of golden sand while gazing out over the azure ocean waves.
There are granite formations at the point, and the long sandy beach is ideal for wandering and watching sunsets.

Behind the beach is the stunning Pottuvil Lagoon, where you may enjoy a boat safari. Elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, and a variety of birds inhabit this wetlands and mangrove area.

Unfortunately, the day we went there, it was after heavy rain and desolated.
