... as "the Pearl of the Indian Ocean". The fishermen sit on a cross bar called a 'petta' tied to a vertical pole and driven into the sand a few meters offshore. From this high position, the fishermen casts his line, and waits until a fish comes along to be caught. Although the approach looks primitive and ancient. The fishermen are now a tourist attraction and money spinner rather than a serious fishing enterprise but it was interesting to see the traditional way people fished. If you want to take photos you will be charged.
