| Nilaveli beach |
Is a stretch of beach which is situated
approximately 16 kilometres North of Trincomalle, passing a thriving
lagoon on either side and lush coconut palm groves and hordes of cattle,
note that the people in the area are predominantly Hindu and consider
the cows sacred. Arriving at the hamlet of “Errakkandy”, a sharp right
turn will take you down a gravel road to Nilaweli beach, almost a
kilometre of in lenght, white sandy beach with gentle surf. Across the
beach about two kilometres into the ocean you will see the famous pigeon
island, named due to rock pigeons roosting on it by the hundreds and
crystal clear water around it to snorkel on to the clear depths of a
reef. Further up North you will see a cluster of reddish rocks which are
referred to as the red rock beach.
Water Sports
Water sports such as wind surfing and diving are very famous among tourists and even locals. Sun bathing is also a really great option if you want to work out on your tan. Snorkelling is also done along the small rocky islands just abit further away from the coast.
