Hilltop sea-view point above ancient Buddhist monastery ruins with sweeping Bay of Bengal vistas, rocky coastline and a compact archaeological complex. Ideal for sunrise and golden-hour panoramas, minimal development keeps compositions clean. Best at sunrise or late afternoon; weekdays bring fewer visitors. Access involves a short uphill walk from a small parking area (informal stalls nearby). No formal entry fee; carry water and sun protection. Cultural note: respect ruins and local worshippers
