Description

Korlai Fort, on the S side of Kundalika River entrance, stands on the summit of a reddish-colored headland, connected to the mainland by a low, narrow, and sandy isthmus. The N part of this headland slopes gradually to the sea and terminates in a rocky point.

A light, with a racon, is shown from the fort.

Revadanda, an old fortress, stands on the N entrance point of the river. The tower of the  Franciscan convent, 30.5m high, is conspicuous above the walls of the fort.
