Weligama is an ideal spot for beginners to learn how to surf. The shallow waters and calm waves provide an accessible and safe environment for kids to practice their surfing skills. With its long and consistent waves, Weligama is perfect for family fun in the water.

You can rent boards on the beach and get an instructor help you catch your first waves easily enough. For all beginners I would recommend taking some lessons first to ensure water safety and to speed up your surfing success.Β
