Best beginner surf breaks around Arugam Bay to avoid the reef

Question

I am a beginner and terrified of the sharp reef at Main Point. Are there sandy, forgiving breaks around Arugam Bay where I can practice safely.

Amali S. · Accepted Answer

Yes! Avoid Main Point. You want to take a tuk-tuk south to Peanut Farm. It has an incredible inside sandy section that is perfect for beginners. Elephant Rock also has a sandy bottom, but the paddle out is trickier. Alternatively, Baby Point (just inside Main Point) is all sand and great for learning when the swell is small.

Just remember that Elephant Rock has crocodiles in the lagoon behind it. Do not walk through the water to get to the beach.

Amali S. · Answer

Yes, it is about a 15-minute bumpy ride. Any tuk-tuk driver on the main strip knows exactly where it is.

Chloe F. · Answer

Peanut Farm is beautiful. There is a little cafe there so you can hang out all day between surf sessions.

Liam K. · Answer

Is Peanut Farm easy to get to by tuk-tuk.
