Nilaveli Beach is one of Sri Lanka's most famous beaches, miles of white powdery sand and blue water. The shallow shore is perfect for safe swimming, snorkeling, or simply bobbing on the soft waves. A morning and late afternoon are particularly beautiful, since the beach is not crowded and light emphasizes the serenity of the sea. Palm trees, fishboats, and shoreline eateries typify the beach line, thereby making it a great place to relax as well as have some fun.
Trincomalee is among the world's best places to see blue whales—the largest animals on the planet. Between May and October, boats head out into the ocean just off shore, where blue whales, sperm whales, and welcoming pods of dolphins are seen on a regular basis. Seeing these awesome creatures up close in their own habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Nilaveli is famous not only for its appearance, but also for its magical sunrises. As the sun rises, the horizon will be colored pink, orange, and gold, and fishermen's boats plying to sea. The atmosphere is serene and calm, the perfect way to start your day in Trinco.
