Looking out across the ocean from Nilaveli beach, on the horizon you'll see a small island. This is Pigeon Island. You can hire a small boat to take you over there - they'll dump you there for a few hours or longer and return to pick you up later. There are some great beaches and if you go early in the morning not many people apart from fishermen.
