这是一个红树林环绕的泻湖，距阿鲁加姆湾仅一小段车程，可乘船探险，观赏大象、鳄鱼和丰富的鸟类。

概述

波图维尔泻湖 (Pottuvil Lagoon) 是一个红树林环绕的浅泻湖，位于阿鲁加姆湾 (Arugam Bay) 以北几公里处，是该地区最值得体验的野生动物体验之一。小船滑行穿过狭窄的红树林通道，穿过开阔的水域，到达一座中央小岛，途中经过喂食的大象、晒太阳的鳄鱼和 200 多种鸟类，包括白鹭、翠鸟和老鹰。两到三个小时的探险之旅在泻湖与印度洋交汇的河口附近结束，最好在清晨或傍晚的柔和光线下拍摄。

历史

The lagoon has long supported the fishing communities around Pottuvil town. In recent decades its mangroves have been recognised as an important ecosystem and nursery for fish and birdlife, and community-run boat safaris have grown into a popular eco-tourism activity alongside the Arugam Bay surf scene.
