Overview
Trincomalee's Natural Coast
Set where a forested headland meets a quiet, undeveloped beach on Sri Lanka's northeast coast.
Uga Jungle Beach occupies a private cove where coastal jungle runs directly down to the sand, on the shores of Trincomalee, a historic natural harbour on Sri Lanka's northeast coast. The setting is noticeably quieter and less developed than the island's southern beach belt, with whale watching, diving on the nearby Pigeon Island reef, and visits to Trincomalee's centuries-old Koneswaram Temple among the region's highlights.
