Trincomalee

DESTINATION OVERVIEW

The fifth largest natural harbour in the world is nestled in the bay of Trincomalee (Trinco). Secluded by natural rocks and foliage the beaches in Trinco are pristine, making it easy to walk at least 100 meters into the sea without getting salt on your hair. Apart from the beach fun fare Trinco is loaded with monuments to show of Sri Lanka’s maritime and colonial past.

A Legacy Etched in Stone

Trincomalee boasts a rich heritage waiting to be unveiled. Climb the sacred Swami Rock and immerse yourself in the magnificent Koneswaram Temple complex, a Hindu pilgrimage site adorned with intricate carvings and towering gopurams (gateway towers). Explore the fascinating remains of Fort Frederick, a 17th-century Portuguese fort offering panoramic views of the harbor. Beyondary Travel curates guided tours led by passionate historians, bringing the stories of these ancient landmarks to life.

Beach Bliss and Beyond
