Trincomalee is located on Sri Lanka’s north eastern coast. Stretching either side of a narrow peninsular, it is flanked by some of the most idyllic white-sand beaches in Sri Lanka. Trincomalee is a two-hour drive from Anuradhapura, in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, and 265-kilometres from Colombo. Some of Trincomalee’s highlights include a spray of white-sand beaches, exceptional diving, whale watching voyages, the history and culture of Fort Frederick and Konneswaram Temple, and the chance to soak up a way of life characterised by Tamil Hindu culture.

the coastal waters off Trincomalee are blessed with an abundance of marine life. Diving and snorkelling are popular past-times, and no-where is better for this than Pigeon Island National Park, a 10-minute’ boat ride from Nilaveli beach. Named after the blue rock pigeons that have colonised the twin islands here, the vast majority of the national park is underwater. Coral reefs harbor turtles, black tip reef sharks and over 300 varieties of fish.
