Trincomalee
Sri Lanka’s northeast coast is a generous swathe of creamy beaches and laidback fishing villages that, for many years, was firmly off the travel radar due to the war. Now, the coastline is back in action and ready to reveal its full potential as a tropical beach heaven. The spot leading the revival is Trincomalee, a vibrant town spread over a cluster of rocky promontories, tree-lined beaches extending north and south in a postcard-perfect picture of golden sands and waving palms. The deep blue waters up here offer excellent surfing, diving and fishing, and, if you’re visiting in March, April, August or September, fabulous whale-watching opportunities – hop on a boat from Trinco’s harbour for the best opportunity to spot them. On land, visit gilded Hindu temples (Koneswaram, perched on Swami Rock above Trinco, is magnificent) and wander or bike through the flora-clad interior.
Following an untouched stretch of sand up the east coast of Sri Lanka, you'll come across the quaint and quiet village of Trincomalee. You'll have your pick of beaches, from idyllic to the truly wild, where you can enjoy swimming and surfing in the temperate water. Delve below the surface in Pigeon Island National Park where a colourful array of marine life dwells. If you fancy seeing larger creatures of the deep, enjoy a whale watching boat trip (in the right season). On the other hand, you could head inland to explore the forests on foot or bicycle, and visit vivid Hindu temples on and around Swami Rock.
Secluded beaches and uber-friendly locals that make you feel as if you’re one of the first people to ever venture this far north.
The beaches around Trinco come in varying states of wild. Try Nilaveli for groomed perfection or Uppuveli for something a touch more rustic - and then head to the Pigeon Islands for the best diving
The monsoon season here is in direct opposition to the west, meaning the best time to visit is during the European summer (May to August) when calm seas and brilliant sunshine abound.
