Lovely ARUGAM BAY, a moon-shaped curl of soft sand, is home to a famed point break that many regard as the best surf spot in the country. It's a tiny place, with a population of a few hundred, and everything is dotted along a single road which parallels the coast. IF you're a surfer, there are plenty of other draws: beachfront guest houses, oceanside restaurants and a mellow, swing-another.day.in-a- hammock kind of vibe and also makes a great base for several adventures in the surrounding hinterland. It is at the top of the National Park, and you don't even have to go inside the park to see plenty of wild animals. Elephants, crocodiles and so many birds!
