Decsription

<ul>Beruwala lighthouse or Barberyn lighthouse is one of the 4 international lighthouses in Sri Lanka. It is located on Barberyn Island near Beruwala, 20 km south of Kalutara, and a ten-minute boat ride. <br>
<br>Established in 1890 and the structure is 33.53 m tall with round, yellow embossed stones. The grand yellow tower stands at the edge of a cliff on the small island, covered with a thick growth of coconut trees. The glass at the tower is the original glass installed by the British in 1928. There is a small stone house next to the tower built during the British period, and some of the equipment used by the British are still to be found in good condition. </ul>
