About
Trincomalee & the East Coast
On the sun-drenched northeast coast, Trincomalee is a city of calm turquoise bays and one of the world's finest natural harbours — with the powder-white beaches of Nilaveli and Uppuveli, the clifftop Koneswaram temple, and some of the island's best snorkelling, diving and whale watching.
