There are a few islands in the bay, one of which was formerly the site of a fort controlled by the English and the Dutch.
Tsunamis
The area is relatively exposed to tsunamis. An alleged tsunami of November 13, 1925 is debated.[1] The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami hit the area hard.
