Trincomalee – Beaches, Culture & Marine Wonders on the East Coast

Trincomalee, or “Trinco” as locals call it, is one of Sri Lanka’s most scenic and historically rich coastal cities. Located on the northeastern coast, it’s known for its wide golden beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and the majestic Koneswaram Temple overlooking the Indian Ocean. Whether you’re here to relax on the beach, dive into marine adventures, or explore ancient Tamil-Hindu culture, Trincomalee offers a refreshing mix of nature and heritage — far from the tourist crowds of the south.
