Dunes That Swallowed a Church
Manalkadu Beach — 11 km by road from Point Pedro
CHURCH IN THE SANDPhoto by Hardscarf on Wikimedia CommonsMigrating dunes still moving landward, with a church ruin you can walk through up to its arches.
A beach 11 km southeast of Point Pedro, reached by 3 km of dirt road off the B371, with fishing boats, a few palms and no services. On the approach a Dutch-era church lies half-buried in sand that migrated across the village in the 1950s; it has been a gazetted protected monument since 2011.
