If being by the water is a major draw, Arugam Bay Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1 mi (1.6 km) from central Arugam Bay. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Pottuvil Point and Pasarichenai Beach.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Trincomalee Beach, located 3.2 mi (5.2 km) from central Trincomalee. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Uppuveli Beach and Marble Beach.
After visiting Koneswaram Temple, make a plan to see the other sights and activities in Trincomalee. Wander the beautiful beaches in this relaxing area.
If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Pottuvil Point might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Pottuvil. Make some time to visit the monuments while you're in the area.

Uppuveli Beach by DSK
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful new hotel on the beach. Grounds are immaculately kept. Nice pool & bathing area under palm trees. Beach bar too. Food was nice and open all hours. Can walk via the beach to other restaurants easily. Would recommend the dolphin watching & snorkelling on pigeon island. You can go to Nilaveli for the day for a more quiet, cleaner beach."
"Loved the access to the beach and pool, and the breakfast! Superb. The staff were fantastic, esp Tharujan who was attentive and friendly. Our room was gorgeous but there was a mildew smell in the bathroom/shower. Staff attempted to address it but the smell did not disappear."
"Fabulous property. World class. Personalized friendly service. Perfect for our large group
Of 8 adults and 2 kids. 20/10 would highly recommend! The food is also amazing sea food tower was our favourite along with the house made sorbet!"
"Very nice little boutique hotel. Our room was 30 seconds from the beach which was long and deserted. The room was spacious and comfortable, the hotel clean and well set out with good amenities and super friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they reacted to requests immediately. Highly recommended for people looking to relax and just chill out. "
