Weligama

A small town on the South coast of Sri Lanka, in Weligama, one of the main attractions is the unique sight of stilt fishermen – especially silhouetted against a blazing sunset. Precariously perched astride a crossbar on a single pole, they weather the waves to catch a meagre harvest. This traditional livelihood has been maintained for centuries with the skills passed down from one generation to the next.
Weligama is also renowned for another picture-postcard sight: the islet known as Taprobane or Count de Mauny Island – a hop across the sea at low tide.

FEATURED EXPERIENCES IN WELIGAMA
Surfing Time - With its protected bay and gentler waves, Weligama is great for beginners, however, there are tougher swells for the more experienced surfers too.
Stilt Fisherman - Watch how these expert fishermen set up their stilts and cast their rods, and perhaps try your fishing skills on the crossbar too.
Snorkelling and Diving - Slip into the shallow reefs teeming with marine life, or explore popular dive sites including Prince Heinrich Patch, Bridge Rock and Yala Rock.
