Balapitiya Surfing

Induruwa is a charming fishing village located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, offering visitors the chance to experience traditional Sri Lankan life. The golden sands and eye-catching kraal-fishing structures of reeds and rods driven into the riverbed make for a picturesque backdrop. The village can be reached via the coastal road or train from Colombo, which is around 80km (50mi) away. While the village itself offers a tranquil atmosphere, it also boasts an exposed reef break, making it a great spot for surfing enthusiasts.
