About Beach Break

Come for the waves. Stay for the people.

Beach Break is a surf hostel, restaurant and social home on Old Matara Road in Weligama—close enough to walk to the water with a board under your arm.

Dorms, a rooftop, food, surf days and late nights all live under one roof. Check in for a bed; find your rhythm somewhere between breakfast and the next swell.
