Arugam Bay Lighthouse at Foul Point

Sampur, which was liberated by the security forces from the LTTE terrorists in 2007, is home to one of the most famous lighthouses in the country. The Lighthouse at Foul Point has been guiding seafarers safely to their destinations for decades.
The lighthouse was built in 1863 with a height of 32 metres and diameter of 25 metres. It is built on five levels with steel stairs. Due the war situation in the past this has not been maintained and stairs are in a dilapidated condition and cannot be used.
Sampur is a town in the Trincomalee District of Sri Lanka and it is located about 30 km South-East of Trincomalee on the South-Eastern side of the Trincomalee Harbour.
