About Trincomalee

The phenomenal waters of Trincomalee, replete with dolphins, blue whales, sperm whales and Byrde’s whales, has become one of the best spots in the world for dolphin and whale watching. Trincomalee also boasts some of the best diving spots in the island as its coastline is made up of rocky peninsulas, reefs and islands resulting in a wide range of underwater terrain and marine life.

In addition to whale watching and diving, if you are looking for things to do, Trincomalee offers many other activities including snorkeling and boat rides, simply to get a glimpse of the treasures of the sea world.

Sea bathing and sun bathing on the shores of Trincomalee, as simple as they are, are some of the most popular things to do. Trincomalee boasts some of the best beaches in the world and the seemingly endless stretch of pristine white sand makes it an ideal setting to lie down in the sun and do nothing.

Offering more things to do, Trincomalee boasts many reasonable dining options. The Sunflower Bake House has a range of sweet and sour pastries baked to perfection. The fried rice at the Family Needs Restaurant too is simply phenomenal.
