Whiskey Point
A sandy-bottomed surf break about 10 km north of Arugam Bay, with gentle waves and few crowds, favored by beginners and longboarders.
Whiskey Point lies north of Pottuvil town, in a quiet bay where waves break over sand in gentle shapes, ideal for surf lessons and longboarding. The beach has several surf camps and restaurants, and the atmosphere is more relaxed than at the main breaks. The water is also good for swimming. From Arugam Bay it's about 20–25 minutes by tuk-tuk, and surf schools usually offer pickups. On the north side of the bay are advanced breaks such as 'Train Station', suited to experienced surfers.
