BERUWELA, Beruwala Bay (Cave at)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

What seems to be a wave-cut sea-cave in laterite is said to be visible in a photograph (note 1) showing: A headland and small bay in laterite, Beruwela. Note the intensive erosion and the small cave in soft laterite at the foot of the cliff (COORAY 1967, plate 10, figure B, opposite page 73). SITUATION: Beruwela (COORAY 1967) appears to be the Beruwala Bay (note 2) named after the village of Beruwala (note 3), and about 35 km along the road A2 south of Colombo.What seems to be a wave-cut sea-cave in laterite is said to be visible in a photograph (note 1) showing: A headland and small bay in laterite, Beruwela.
