Elephant Rock is a beautiful natural attraction and surfing spot located about 4–6 km south of Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka’s east coast. The large rock formation, shaped like an elephant, overlooks a quiet stretch of beach surrounded by lush jungle, lagoons, and mangroves.
It’s a popular spot for both surfing and sightseeing, offering gentle waves ideal for beginners as well as a stunning viewpoint for sunrise and sunset. Reaching the rock involves a short scenic walk through sandy paths and a brief climb to the top, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and countryside.
Away from the busy main beaches, Elephant Rock provides a peaceful escape — perfect for those seeking a mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty in Arugam Bay.
