So I asked myself, "Does Sri Lanka (the pendant-shaped island south of India) have lighthouses?"
I suspected that it did, because it is, after all, an island surrounded by the Indian Ocean.
And the answer to this simple question is: Yes. In fact, it has quite a few of them.
I'm going to start off this look at Sri Lankan lighthouses with Oluvil, a cute and modern (1999) lighthouse on Sri Lanka's east coast.
Because it was built in 1999, it doesn't have a lot of history. This Web site has all the info you really need: Oluvil Lighthouse, Ampara
It also has a map that can show you exactly where it is.
If you're in a hurry, skip the Web site, it's 24 meters (79 feet) high. Now you can go look at the pictures and the drone video.
