Peanut Farm
Two adjacent bays just south of Elephant Rock, with gentle waves over sand suitable for beginners, quiet beaches, and wild peacocks.
Peanut Farm takes its name from the peanut fields that once lay behind the coast. It consists of two bays where waves break over reef and sand, gentler than at the main break, making it a popular practice spot for intermediate surfers. The beach has only a few simple huts and cafés. The setting is unspoiled, peacocks are often seen, and wild elephants occasionally pass by nearby. It's about 20 minutes by tuk-tuk from Arugam Bay, along a rural road heading toward Kumana.
