Travellers can partake in snorkeling and diving, as the waters around Trinco are thriving with a variety of marine life - it’s also known to be a great place for whale and dolphin watching. History buffs can take a walk back in time while exploring the ruins of Fort Frederick, the

Koneswaram Temple and the numerous ancient temples around the area.

Trincomalee is most famous for 3 bays, Dutch bay, Back bay and the inner harbour.

Situated on the edge of a high, rocky cliff, the temple is surrounded by the endless sea on all three sides. The temple, along with its religious artefacts were destroyed in 1622 during a battle.
