The beach serves as the departure point for boat trips to nearby Pigeon Island National Park and offers some of the best snorkeling on Sri Lanka's east coast. It sits below the headline sights but earns its place on a longer visit to Trincomalee, especially paired with nearby Pigeon Island National Park. Tickets cost Free beach access and half day to full day is enough to see everything without rushing.
What It Is
The visit is straightforward. Half day to full day gives you enough time to see everything at a comfortable pace.
Why Visit
Pristine white sand beach with excellent snorkeling and gateway to Pigeon Island National Park. It is not the first thing you should see in Trincomalee, but with two or more days it fills a gap the major sights leave. It pairs naturally with Pigeon Island National Park and Uppuveli Beach - together they fill a solid half-day.
