Why You'll Love Nilaveli Nilaveli's long, wide beach north of Trincomalee is one of the east coast's most postcard-perfect stretches of sand — calmer and quieter than the busier west and south coast resorts, with easy boat access to Pigeon Island's snorkelling reefs just offshore.
A small marine national park just offshore, with easy snorkelling among reef sharks and coral gardens in shallow, clear water.
One of the widest, least-developed beaches on the east coast, with far fewer visitors than the west or south coast equivalents.
Nilaveli is a short drive from Trincomalee and shares the same diving season, with quieter Kuchchaveli just beyond.
