EASTERN PROVINCE

Eastern Province of Sri Lanka – Sun, Culture, and Coastal Serenity

Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province is a captivating coastal region where golden beaches, vibrant culture, and historical depth come together in perfect harmony. Stretching along the island’s eastern seaboard, this province is home to some of the country’s most pristine and uncrowded beaches — including Pasikuda, Nilaveli, and Arugam Bay, a world-renowned surf destination.

The region is a rich cultural mosaic of Tamil, Muslim, and Sinhalese communities, offering visitors a unique blend of traditions, temples, mosques, and colonial-era landmarks. Trincomalee, with its ancient Koneswaram Temple and natural harbor, stands as a key highlight, while Batticaloa enchants with its lagoons and historic fort.

From whale watching and water sports to wildlife exploration and authentic eastern cuisine, the Eastern Province invites travelers to experience Sri Lanka’s beauty from a fresh, peaceful perspective — where nature meets living heritage.
