Pigeon Island The island, which is also home to a species of blue rock pigeons, is one of Sri Lanka’s most important marine parks. Take a ferry to the nearby Pigeon Island to explore the underwater world of corals, turtles and reef fishes.

Nilaveli Beach Considered the most beautiful stretch of beach in the entire island, Nilaveli extends for 6 long kilometres. Its languid waters open an invitation to chase the playful waves, that rush towards you from the horizon.
