Arugam Bay Beach is a coastal destination on Sri Lanka’s eastern shore, near the town of Pottuvil. Its wide sandy beach curves around a sheltered bay, with low vegetation, lagoons, and wetlands extending inland. Arugam Bay is best known for surfing, particularly for its long right-hand waves and the main break commonly called Main Point. The coastline has a more relaxed, low-rise character than many of Sri Lanka’s developed beach areas, with small hotels, cafés, surf schools, and guesthouses spr

Located on the western coast of Navarino Island in southern Chile, Bahía Wulaia is a sheltered bay along the Murray Channel. Once home to one of the region’s most important Yaghan settlements, the bay later became a meeting place between the Yaghan people and European explorers. Today, visitors can follow heritage trails through the surrounding forest and enjoy sweeping views of the bay and the islands of Tierra del Fuego.
