About Trincomalee

Trincomalee on Sri Lanka's east coast boasts one of the world's finest natural harbours, powder-white beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It is an emerging destination for snorkelling, whale watching, and exploring ancient Hindu and colonial heritage.

Trincomalee shines from May to September, when the rest of the island sees rain. The powdery sands of Nilaveli and Marble Beach are among the finest in Sri Lanka, and a short boat ride reaches Pigeon Island, a marine national park alive with reef sharks and corals. Don't miss the clifftop Koneswaram Temple and the sweeping views from colonial-era Fort Frederick.

Trincomalee Highlights

  • Nilaveli & Marble beaches
