Sea Breeze


This picture was taken near Arugam Bay closer to Ulla Point. The picture here would show you that the wind is not so gentle near the beach!

June to July is the season for water sports here and thousands of foreigners come here to enjoy this excellent beach. It is a great place to enjoy water currents as well as strong winds!

Nice pic. With that kinda wind, it'll definitely attract lots of surfers for sure. =D

And the site about kitesurfing seems very informative too. Great way to boost our tourism.

Harumi,

Arugam Bay is a place where any visitor would come for the second time. There are tourists who come here every year especially during the season

I too read Dilsiri's accounts on kitesurfing with great interest.

Thanks for your comments!

Harshi said...

You're welcome.

Really? Well.. I knew about surfing but not about kitesurfing, so yep, I've learned something new. =D

oh and good to hear there's a boom in our tourism again..
