    You might also want to check the small shrine near the coconut grove that locals say dates back to the early 1900s. It’s still used for community gatherings and gives a nice contrast to the older mosque and thatched homes. If you’re interested in seeing how the handloom craft ties into the island’s history, the cultural tour often stops at the workshop right next to the mosque where they still weave fabrics using the same traditional looms. Let the guide know if you’d like an English speaking walk, and they can arrange it for you.
