Weligama's long, sandy bay is one of Sri Lanka's best places to learn to surf, and Mirissa's harbour and beach sit ten minutes further east.
With the Southern Expressway, the drive from Colombo airport is roughly two and three-quarter hours — far quicker than the old coast road.

Expressway almost the whole way, then a short coastal stretch. Tell us about surfboards so we send a vehicle they fit in.
One shortboard fits a car; longboards, several boards or four-plus travellers need a van.
