WELCOME TO HOTEL BEACH BANGAL TOURIST REST INN




TRINCOMALEE CITY AND KONESWARAM TEMPLE


The region's largest city stands on an isthmus with two deep bays to seaward and a fine natural Inner Harbour to the west. It naturally attracted the attention of European colonial powers as early as the first quarter of the 17th century, changing hands repeatedly among the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French and the British in a series of side-shows to the European wars of the 17th and 18th centuries, before finally falling to a British fleet in 1795. It remained one of the British Empire's most important ports in Asia, and from 1941-45 was the headquarters of the Allied Southeast Asia commander, Lord Louis Mountbatten. Other distinguished British military men to have sojourned here include Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington), who recuperated here in 1799 from fever caught while campaigning against the French and their allies in southern India. In the middle of the Inner Harbour, connected to the isthmus by a narrow causeway, is Powder Island, once a gunpowder magazine for the Royal Navy, but now occupied by the Sri Lankan defence force.



Fort Frederick
The northeast-pointing promontory which separates Dutch Bay from Back Bay was fortified first by the Portuguese, then by their successors and finally by the British, who named it Fort Frederick. At the tip of the promontory is Swami Rock, where a Hindu temple stood until being demolished by the Portuguese.

Trincomalee beaches


Uppuveli is the most conveniently located beach for those staying in Trincomalee, only 6km (4 miles) north of the city centre and accessible by taxi or three-wheeler. Nilaveli is a 4km (2.5-mile) stretch of beach which starts about 16km (10 miles) north of Trincomalee.


Pigeon Island - Trinco Diary


There is this tiny island that u can see right across the sea from nilaveli beach. The resort has its own boat but there are some private guys having their own boats u can negotiate a reasonable amount and make the trip. Early morning around eight is ideal time to get there. Sadly there are no pigeons only crows (wonder why its called pigeon island). u can walk around the island climb rocks and snorkell.

Snorkelling is best done on the other end of the island which is like a small walk. Since the end you get off is always having people being dropped off. I cant swim at all but I did try my hand at snorkeling and it was amazing.

There was so many coloured fish and beautiful corals... wow... Nothing like the hikkaduwa in the glass bottom boat. There are beautiful shades of corals. Nearly had a heartattack when there was a huge fish which appeared right at my face. I think the sea life looks huge with goggles. I screamed spluttered water and i think the fish had a fright too...

There was this one fish which i cant get out of my mind pure white and glass like. somehow stuck in my mind...


The Hot Springs






Among the sights of the place are the seven hot springs of Kanniyayi, on the road to Trincomalee. About a mile on a side road branching from the main route, the springs are worth a visit. A high wall assembles all the seven springs in a rectangular enclosure. Each enclosed in a dwarf wall forms a well of its own. The water is mildly hot; the temperature varies but slightly in each. In effect, a public bathing resort, the use of the springs is controlled by the neighboring Mari Amman Kovil who holds the lease of the wells. The site of the springs is crown land.
