Trincomalee is acclaimed to have the finest deep water harbour in the world,
a fact first acknowledged by Admiral Lord Nelson from the deck of HMS Seahorse
in 1770. Located at the mouth of the Mahaweli Ganga, Sri Lanka’s longest
river, 257 km from Colombo, Trincomalee has first class beaches offering
all kinds of water sports including fishing . There is also Fort Fredrick,
the old Dutch Fort which is still the administrative center of the town
and a mini storehouse of interesting sights like the 300 feet drop into
the ocean known as ‘Lovers Leap’ and ‘Swami Rock’ on
the eastern precipice where the Hindu temple of Koneswara stands. Hot water
springs at Kaniyai, a whale santuary and 'Pigeon Island, a breeding ground
of the Blue Rock Pigeon off the coast.
