Hikkaduwa

Nearby, Hikkaduwa Lake supports wildlife like monitor lizards and birds. To the north, on a small island just off the coast, is the revered temple of Seenigama Vihara. Nearby is the Hikkaduwa Turtle Farm and Hatchery, a sanctuary for several endangered turtle species, including hawksbills and leatherbacks. In the village of Telwatta, the Tsunami Photo Museum exhibits photos and salvaged items from the 2004 tsunami, which devastated this coastal area. Northeast is the Moonstone Mine, where mine shafts and a factory illustrate the process of mining the gemstone.Wikipedia
