Salt lake which dries in the summer and has hundreds of migrating flamingos around February/March time. There is a nice boardwalk around one side of the lake and the mosque is certainly worth a visit.

Built as a look out for marauding invaders then changed into other uses including a prison during British colonialization. Well worth a visit inside where you can look out over the sea. There are occasionally music events which are magical
