To save money, can we buy beers from the local wine store and drink them on the sand directly outside the Ahangama beach clubs.

Public consumption of alcohol on Sri Lankan beaches is illegal. While police sometimes turn a blind eye during massive tourist parties, they have been cracking down recently in Ahangama. If police patrol the beach, they will confiscate your alcohol and fine you. Furthermore, taking glass bottles onto the beach is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.

Just pre-drink at your hostel. It is much cheaper and you do not risk dealing with the police.

The beach clubs will also not let you back inside if they catch you smuggling outside alcohol in.
