- Highlights :
Visit the Trincomalee town, Hindu temple
Trincomalee is one of the largest natural harbors in Sri Lanka, so naturally it has attracted a lot of attention. In their records, the Portuguese referred to the bay as “Bahia dos Arcos,” noting its significance as a potential control point over the entire Gulf of Bengal due to its proximity to Indian Ocean trade routes.
Like the Portuguese, Admiral Lord Nelson believed the great trading post would be successful. In an increasingly globalized and Asian-dominated world, this is certainly possible. Trincomalee is currently popular among tourists looking for a peaceful getaway in Sri Lanka.
Nilaveli is a nearly 30-kilometer long stretch of beach that extends north from Trincomalee. Unique pink boulders can be found on Red Rock Beach, an estuary close to Nilaveli. Pigeon Island is close by, and it has some great coves where the Blue Rock pigeon likes to hang out. Visitors to Sri Lanka’s beaches can relax in the shade and enjoy some peace and quiet.

The singing fish of the picturesque lagoon are said to be responsible for the lilting sound heard on moonlit nights. One fascinating cultural aspect is the small but dedicated group of people who are descended from Portuguese soldiers and who speak a Creole Portuguese dialect that is said to be similar to Medieval Portuguese.
