Weligama feels like a postcard coming to life. It is most famous for its iconic stilt fishermen, who balance with incredible grace on single poles above the crashing waves, a tradition passed down through generations. The bay itself is a surfer’s paradise, especially for those just finding their feet on a board. With its soft sandy bottom and gentle, rolling waves, it’s the perfect spot to spend a morning catching your first wave and an afternoon enjoying the freshest seafood right on the sand.
