About Peanut Farm

Peanut Farm is a fun, easy to surf right-hand point. What sets it apart from the rest of Sri Lanka's sand-bottom pointbreaks is that because it's nearly impossible to find without a guide or a helicopter it's seldom crowded, despite being relatively close to Arugam Bay. This makes it a good place to go hook into a few 300-yard long rights.
