SPRAY IN THE CLEFTPhoto by Shaakunthala on Wikimedia CommonsThe only known blowhole in Sri Lanka, named for the hoo sound heard some distance away when it fires.
A natural blowhole in the rocks 1 km from the fishing village of Kudawella, 5 km from Dikwella. Sea water forced through a submerged cavern bursts out every few minutes, with spray of 25 to 30 metres when the sea is up; a viewing platform and a small information centre stand beside it.
