kalpitiya is best For kite surfing

This peninsula, surrounded on one side by the Indian Ocean and on the other by Puttalam’s lagoon, is the perfect place for kitesurfing, with several spots for beginners as well as advanced riders 
Kite surfing or kite boarding is an extreme sport which uses the power of the wind to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or kite board. Generally kite boarding refers to a style of riding known as freestyle or wake-style, whereas kite surfing is more "wave-riding" oriented. These two styles usually require different boards and specific performance kites. The sport is rapidly growing in popularity worldwide. Although kite surfing is possible throughout the year in Kalpitiya, it does require the highest possible wind conditions, and the best period for this is between April and November. A number of kite surfing schools have been set up in Kalpitiya approximately 5-7 kilometers from Dolphin Beach and have internationally qualified instructors who could assist both beginners and serious kiters

THE BAR REEF (SNORKELLING AND SCUBA DIVING)



The impressive Bar Reef is the largest reef in Sri Lanka (at 3 nautical miles in length and 1 nautical mile in breadth).  It is located at 8 degrees 23'N latitude and 79 degrees 44'E longitude, and can be reached by boat from Turtle Point Lodge  in under one hour (approximately 9 nautical miles).  With its tremendous variety of tropical fish (see summarised list), the colourful live coral reef is an ideal location for Snorkelling, especially because the water is so clear. Diving is also excellent and can be done at a depth of 2-8 metres (up to 40 metres slightly further out).  Due to its vast size, there are numerous different dives that can be done - even a whole week would not be sufficient time to explore everything that it has to offer!

N.B.  Due to the wide variety of shallow dives that are possible at the Bar Reef, it is an ideal location for beginners to learn how to dive. After a first morning used as a basic introduction to diving, the 'beginners' could explore the reef in more detail, putting their training into practice.
