The spot includes a small beach bar and basic facilities. It is at Arugam Bay's Whiskey Point, close to the other main sights. It sits below the headline sights but earns its place on a longer visit to Arugam Bay, especially paired with nearby Pottuvil Point. Entry is free and 2-3 hours gives you a thorough visit.
What It Is
Between surf sessions, you can eat fresh seafood at the simple beach bar while watching other surfers. The atmosphere is more laid-back than Main Point, with a small local community of surfers and travellers.
Why Visit
Whiskey Point works well for visitors with a genuine interest in smaller attraction. With a single day in Arugam Bay, the bigger names take priority, but add a second day and this earns its place. It pairs naturally with Pottuvil Point and Arugam Bay Beach - together they fill a solid half-day.
