East Coast
Trincomalee
A natural harbour of legendary depth — white sand, whale sharks and ancient Shiva temples.
Trincomalee possesses one of the finest natural harbours in the world, which shaped its history as a contested colonial prize. Today the town is the gateway to the east coast's finest beaches — Nilaveli and Uppuveli — and to marine encounters that few anticipate: whale sharks, dolphins and the blue whale migration pass close to these shores between March and October.
