Pottuvil - Sri Lanka's widest stretch of sand dunes
Pottuvil, also spelt Pothuvil or Poththuvil, is a coastal town in Ampara District close to Arugam Bay. Like Arugam Bay, it has become a popular surf destination after the civil war. Pottuvil’s coast is the widest stretch of sand dunes in Sri Lanka, partly covering the Mudu Mahavihara archaeological site.
