Trincomalee District
🏖️ Eastern Province | Nilaveli, Koneswaram Temple & Pristine Beaches
Trincomalee District is home to one of the world's finest natural harbors and some of Sri Lanka's most beautiful beaches. Located on the northeast coast, this district offers pristine beaches, ancient Hindu temples, and excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities. The east coast season (May-September) makes it perfect when the west coast is in monsoon.
The Koneswaram Temple, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean, is one of Sri Lanka's most important Hindu temples. Nilaveli Beach and nearby Pigeon Island offer world-class snorkeling and diving experiences.
