If being by the water is a major draw, Arugam Bay Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1 mi (1.6 km) from central Arugam Bay. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Pottuvil Point and Pasarichenai Beach.
After visiting Mahaavaapi Maha Viharaya Temple, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Ampara. Amble around the area's riverfront or visit its shops.
