| Sea based blowhole |
The “Hummanaya-Blow Hole” is a natural fountain, caused when sea water rushes through a submerged cavern and is pushed upwards. Hummanaya is located on the southern Sri Lankan coast. The ocean water flows underneath the shore, and then comes out of this hole due to pressure. Water shoots up every minute or so, and it gives a very serene feeling. The spray is often as high as 25 meters, giving on lookers a sea bath on land.
The blowhole has always been one of the main attractions in Deep South. The Kudawella Fisheries Association, a Community based organization that operate in the area, have recently taken up the task of giving fantastic boat rides to the blowhole from the Kudawella shore. Approaching this place, one can find many small outlets selling local fruits, thirst quenching drinks and the all time favorite fresh fried fish. In addition to this you will also find souvenir shops with a variety of local handicrafts and ornaments made out of sea shells and other marine findings.
