come feel the beauty of nothern beach to have a relaxing time

Since we did not tour for a long time, today we are trying to go on a trip to a place a little far away from Colombo. This place provides all most all the facilities without a hitch. It is the Eastern coast; one of the most beautiful and key tourist destinations of the country. This remarkable coast starts from Nilaveli and officially ends from Arugambe or Pothuwil, Panama beach. The coast includes stunning beaches, archeologically important places, and restricted forests.

We are planning to start our journey from Kokilayi Lagoon, which is situated in the North of Trincomalee. From that point onwards we will be touring to Kuchchuweli, Nilaveli, Uppuweli, Trincomalee, Kadiraweli, Vakare, Pasikuda, Kalkuda, Batticalo, Akkarayipaththu, Pothuwil, Panama and finish our voyage from Kumana bird paradise.


In the first episode, we are going towards south from Kokilayi Lagoon. That is on the A15 road. The road starts from Alimankada and goes through Trincomalee to end from Batticaloa. Generally, this is known as the Batticalo Jaffna road. Thus, we are getting ready here to travel on this road from Kokilayi to Trincomalee.


Kokilayi Lagoon, a beautiful Bird Sanctuary, now is peaceful after a 30 years old brutal war. The specialty of the Kokilayi Lagoon is the tall trees near the beach. Though it is said that the place is a residence for various animals, no such records have been reported after the war. However, this is an ideal place to see, Spot Billed Pelican, one of the threatened species. Unfortunately, this splendid Kokilayi Lagoon is at the brink of severe environmental pollution.

After passing Kokilayi Lagoon, our next destination is Pulmoddai. It is a time consuming journey if the land road is taken. Travelling by sea is the easiest and the most entertaining way to come to Pulmoddai. This is the city where we have our Mineral Sands plant. This factory collects rough mineral sands from around Pulmoddai and manufactures minerals like Ilmanite and Monazite. It brings a significant proportion of foreign currency to the country.

Kuchchuweli is the next beach we meet when heading down from the coast. This is an ideal place to rest. After passing that beach next, we meet one of the most eye-catching beaches of the
country, Nilaveli Beach. This is the widest and prettiest beach among the Sri Lankan beaches. The blue ocean doubles the beauty. Tourists love this shallow and safe coast, because they can walk up to a kilometer towards the deep sea. The pigeon island, situated about five kilometers away from the beach, is also a stunning place to relax. Tourists can travel to the island from a boat and spend the day watching birds and enjoying thegolden sandy beach.

Leaving Nilaeveli and heading towards south you can spot another similar beach, Uppuweli. Uppuweli beach is a paradise to spend the night as same as Nilaveli. After this, you enter the Trincomalee town. The beach closest to the town, marble beach, is another popular tourist destination. If anyone seeking accommodation close to the beach, Sri Lanka Air Force has provided that facility for you.


Now you are in the beautiful Trincomalee town. Enjoy with your friends and rest. From our next episode, we will be touring around the Trincomalee town.
