Uppuveli Beach
உப்புவெளி கடற்கரை
The popular beach closest to Trincomalee's town center, lined with restaurants and diving shops, with plenty of accommodation choices.
Uppuveli Beach lies about 4 km north of the town center. Its golden sands are broad and gently sloping. Along the shore are numerous guesthouses, seafood restaurants and dive centers, making it a good base for a tour of the east coast. From here you can book whale-watching, diving and day trips to Pigeon Island. At dusk, seaside restaurants set out candlelit tables for grilled seafood. The Trincomalee War Cemetery is nearby and can be reached on foot. A tuk-tuk from town takes about 10 minutes.
