Pillar at Baruva, constructed to commemorate a 1917 shipping accident
Baruva was used as a seaport in the era of British colonial rule in India up to 1948. In July, 1917, a ship carrying goods sank in the sea. To commemorate this incident a pillar was constructed.[3] The harbor is closed, but the old lighthouse stood until 2000.

The swampy sea shore, locally called "beela", is well known for duck shooting and fishing.
The famous Sri Kotilingeswara Swamy and Janardhana Swamy temples are here.
The river Mahendra Tanya merges into sea at this place. Thousands of people take sea bath during festival days, especially in "Karthikam" (November–December) every year.
Baruva was once a seaport. Two obelisks, one white and the other black, of fifty feet height above the sea level, mark the seaport.
The large grooves of coconut trees and green paddy fields make the place picturesque.
