Sri Lanka’s most dramatic kitesurfing destination and one of the Indian Ocean’s finest spots for encountering enormous spinner dolphin super-pods – a rugged peninsula on the northwest coast where the lagoon and the deep sea meet in conditions that attract world-class kite surfers from October to April and massive dolphin aggregations year-round. Kalpitiya’s deserted sand dunes, small fishing islets, and raw, undeveloped coastal character give it an atmosphere of genuine remoteness that stands in complete contrast to the more developed resort coastlines of the south and west.
