Trincomalee is a beautiful place found in the northern part of Sri Lanka and if you want to know the places to explore while you are in this beach town, read on.
Pigeon Island in Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful and scenic places you can visit while you are in the country. This is a famous snorkelling spot found in the northeastern part of the country and you will have to get yourself a boat to the island, which will take you out there. You will also have to pay an entrance fee to get into the Pigeon Island National Park. The best thing to do would be to arrange a day trip and go to the place, especially if you are staying at a resort in Trincomalee the likes of Uga Jungle Beach. You will get to experience the complete magic of the sea life that lives just below the waters in this part of the country.
Built back in the early 1600s, Fort Frederick is an old-time colonial spot that was built in Sri Lanka by the people of Portugal. Right now, it is used by the Sri Lankan military and armed forces, but the public can still go see it whenever they want. You will also find a lot of wildlife roaming about this area and this is a great place to go during the day especially if you want to escape the sunshine. Fort Frederick is open from 6 a.m. and shuts only at 10 p.m.
This is known to be one of the most gorgeous beaches in Sri Lanka and that is saying something for an island. This beach is about 16 km away from Trincomalee and is the beginning point for Pigeon Island. At this beach, you will be able to partake in various activities like watersports, but you can also choose to just chill there and enjoy the sunshine and the view.
Having a cocktail at Fernando's during the sunset or right after is one of the best ways to unwind and relax when you are visiting this town. Fernando's is an amazing bar that is located right on the beach and they also serve delicious food, drinks and snacks. Before you go to the place, you might want to check out the happy hour and go during this time so you can avail the discount and offers. There are many parts of the Fernando's where you can chill and you have dinner while you swing on one of the swing sets too.
This is a great way to catch the sunset after a day of exploring the town and you will also get to meet fellow travellers, while you walk out and about. Right after dinner you can walk to the beach and have a romantic evening and in the most perfect way possible. Walking around a town is one of the most authentic ways of getting to know a place.
