Batticaloa Lighthouse

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

Historical lighthouse which ages more than hundred years. Although you are not permitted to enter inside you can have a closer view from outside. Some boat riding services are also available from here. Few benches are there to sit back and enjoy the view over lagoon. A paid car park is also available here. Only 30rs for a car. Ps: went there again recently(2021/04) and had a boat ride. We got the full package which covered kalllady bridge, batticaloa fort, batticaloa gate and around some islands. It cost us 4000.
