Kalpitiya: The Untouched Peninsula

Kalpitiya is a narrow peninsula that separates the Puttalam lagoon from the Indian Ocean. It has rapidly become one of Sri Lanka's most exciting eco-tourism destinations.

Adventure and Wildlife

Kalpitiya is unique for its world-class adventure sports and diverse marine life.

Kite Surfing: Constant winds and a vast lagoon make Kalpitiya one of the top ten kite surfing spots in the world.

Dolphin Watching: Between November and April, massive pods of Spinner Dolphins (sometimes hundreds in a group) can be seen just off the coast.

The Bar Reef: One of the most pristine coral reefs in Sri Lanka, perfect for snorkeling and diving.

Lagoon Life

Exploring the lagoon by boat offers a chance to see mangroves, traditional salt pans, and remote fishing villages where life has remained unchanged for decades.

Travel Guidance from BIA

Location: North of Puttalam town.

Transport: The drive to the end of the peninsula involves long, coastal roads. A car rental with H.B.S allows you to transport your kite surfing gear comfortably and explore the remote beach areas at your own pace.
