斯里兰卡最北端，一个安静的渔镇，拥有灯塔、棕榈树成荫的海岸和海风吹拂的海滩。

概述

佩德罗角在泰米尔语中被称为 Paruthithurai，标志着斯里兰卡的最北端，是从贾夫纳出发的令人回味的岛屿末端游览。这个小镇有一个仍在运营的渔港、一座古老的灯塔和长长的、微风徐徐、背靠棕榈树的海岸。附近有马纳尔卡杜的沙丘和移动的沙丘掩埋的教堂遗址，增添了偏远的乡村氛围。

历史

The town takes its English name from early European navigators and grew as a fishing and trading port on the exposed northern coast. Like much of the peninsula it was heavily affected by the civil war and the 2004 tsunami, and has slowly recovered as a quiet outpost at the island's northern extremity.
