Whisky Point, located just north of Pottuvil in Sri Lanka’s Ampara District, is one of the most
relaxing and scenic beaches on the east coast.
Known for its golden sands, gentle surf breaks, and peaceful vibe, it’s a favorite among both

The beach is also perfect for yoga, sunset photography, and enjoying quiet seaside moments with a
tropical drink in hand.
