Looking at the roots of how the name “Olhumathi” was given to this beach, the word ‘Olhu’ literally means a place where a small area has been dug in the shoreline in order to allow the sea water to flood in, and in the earlier days there were multiple uses for this mechanism. During the olden days, Ukulhas people would go and collect ground water to drink from this area as the water found in the ground of this area was said to be well purified and better for drinking in comparison to the ground water taken from other areas of the Island. •Nearby tourist attractions: Ukulhas Great Banyan Tree/Bodu Nikagas, Ukulhas Power House, Ukulhas Home gardening and backyard Agriculture, Maamiskiy or Kudamiskiy
