Pottuvil Sri Lanka

Pottuvil ?or Pothuvil or Poththuvil is a town in the Ampara District of Sri Lanka, located along the Eastern coast of the Island, it is 4 km due North of the popular tourist destination Arugam Bay. It was affected by 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Not much to see here, mostly another semi-urban sprawl, but this small east-coast town is the main transport hub for the ever-popular beaches and surfing resorts of Arugam Bay, 3km further south. The town has several ATMs, a market, and a lovely lagoon, which is worth a visit.
