Surfing stays and beach safety

Question

I am looking for surfing stays on the south coast What are the safety rules for the beaches with strong currents

Lisa M. · Accepted Answer

Weligama is the safest beach for learning because it is sandy and has no reef. Mirissa has a strong current near the rocks so stay in the middle.

Priyanthi S. · Answer

Stays in Midigama are best for experienced surfers who want to avoid the main beach crowds.

Gayan K. · Answer

Always look for red flags on the beach which mean swimming is prohibited due to dangerous wildlife or currents.
