Trincomalee
Eastern Province
Trincomalee has one of the world's great natural harbours and calm beaches at Uppuveli and Nilaveli. Offshore, Pigeon Island National Park offers snorkelling over coral and reef fish.
The Koneswaram Temple stands on a headland above the sea, and the old Fort Frederick is part of the town. The weather season on this coast differs from the south, so check conditions before you plan.
