Weligama is a small town on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Its name translates to ‘sandy village’, a testament to its wide golden sandy beaches. Over the years Weligama has gained popularity and slowly transformed itself from a small fishing village to a booming tourist spot and today it has secured itself as a top surfing destination. Good place to relax and surf with chill beer.......

A great experice - learning to Surf in Weligama. Great instructors at Blissful beach bum surf school and great food. loads of options. Dont miss the whale watching tour. well worth the half day trip. Pretty close to WEligama. our Surf school arranged everything for us.

Clean and safe beach for children. Not so crowded. There is a public park alongside the beach where more than 20 vehicles can be parked. Rs 150 for the first hour. Nice and wide beach where children can play around with sand. Opposite the beach there are boutique type hotels for you to buy food /lunch .

We had an amazing time in Weligama, the sea was great for swimming and watching all the surfers, we ate every night at restaurants along the beach. On the first day we used a driver called Sampath, he was so honest and very reasonably priced that we used him as our driver for every where we went during our stay. We can highly recommend him, his number is 0094 718360747 . We will definately be going back to Weligama as it was one of the best holidays we have had.

What an amazing place Weligama Beach is. It's one of the world's top spots for surfers, and swimming during the season from November to April is incredible. The sea is really beautiful and one of the safest along the south coast. There are amazing restaurants, pubs, and bars to chill out and enjoy yourself whenever you’re there. Another interesting experience is picking fresh fish from a stall and having it cooked just the way you like while enjoying a cold beer on the beach. You can easily find lodging options from budget to high-end at a decent price range.
