Trincomalee's Koneswaram temple, also known as Thirukonamalai Konesar Temple – The Temple of the Thousand Pillars and Dakshina-Then Kailasam, is a classical-medieval Hindu temple complex located in Trincomalee, a Hindu religious pilgrimage center in Sri Lanka's Eastern Province. The most sacred of Sri Lanka's Pancha Ishwarams, it was erected on top of Konesar Malai, a peninsula overlooking Trincomalee District, Gokarna Bay, and the Indian Ocean, during the rule of the early Cholas and the Five Dravidians of the Early Pandyan Kingdom.

Fort Fredrick, also known as Trincomalee Fort or Fort of Triquillimale, is a Portuguese fort constructed on Swami Rock-Konamamalai from the wreckage of the world-famous ancient Hindu Koneswaram temple and finished in 1624 CE. The Dutch demolished the Fort of Triquillimale and rebuilt it in 1665, renaming it Fort Fredrick.

The white sands, the breathtaking shoreline make this one of Sri Lanka's best beaches. This is physical evidence of our island's tranquility. It is so one-of-a-kind that the sensation you get when you view it is also one-of-a-kind. At this beach, one may truly connect with nature on a deep way. This is a spot where most people gather to relax and recuperate from their stressful life.
Between April and October, the beach is great for a visit. This is the best time to work on your tan because the sun is at its brightest. Watersports are also popular on this beach, with surfing and windsurfing being the most popular activities.

A beautiful beach where you may relax, go running, or take a stroll in the evenings while sampling the local street food. It is a pristine, golden sand beach that stretches for several kilometers. People swim here, but it's best to stay away because the waters can be dangerous at times due to strong undertows. The ideal time to visit is in the evenings, as the sun is too hot throughout the day. Local fishing boats would be parked along the shoreline, ready to venture out into the waters.

The average temperature of these wells is 42 degrees Celsius, with modest differences in temperature amongst them. Kanniya Hot Springs is a prominent tourist spot for both local and foreign visitors in the Trincomalee area. The Pradeshiya Sabha (Local Council) of Trincomalee is in charge of this at the moment.

The Maritime and Naval History Museum in Trincomalee is a relatively young museum, having opened in 2013. The museum, while being a modern addition, houses some antique antiquities dating back to the days when trade links were first being formed in Sri Lanka during Marco Polo's time. A variety of artefacts demonstrate how Sri Lanka, particularly the port of Trincomalee, was utilized as an important docking site for numerous traders coming in from the far east, and are housed in the two-story building. The museum, which is near to the old Fort Frederick, gives a fair overview of how the Dutch first arrived on the island in the 16th century and finally acquired control of the coastal districts.

According to Chronicles, Mahasen built Gokanna Viharaya in the 3rd century on the summit of the rock where the Koneswaram Kovil now sits. Trincomalee (Gokanna) was formerly one of the busiest ports in the world, and the temple flourished with the help of the monarchs at different eras. The previous Gokanna Viharaya eventually became a Hindu worship place, and the current Kovil was erected in 1856, burying any Buddhist legacy buried beneath the foundations of the Konesvaram Temple for all time. The new Gokanna Viharaya is currently located on the north side of the fort entryway, near to the fort entrance. This new temple features a few Buddhist items that have been excavated at various times.

One of the most gorgeous beaches in the Trincomalee region is Marble Beach. It's a fantastic swimming area since the sea is crystal blue and there aren't many waves. Before the war, the beach was mostly frequented by Air Force officers, and it is now under Air Force jurisdiction, therefore access to the beach requires permission from the neighboring China Bay Air Force camp. Because to the shallow waters and the presence of lifeguards in the area, you may take a bath without danger of drowning.

With a length of 396 meters, the Kinniya Bridge is Sri Lanka's longest bridge. It runs through the lagoon between Koddiyar Bay and Tambalagam Bay. It connects Trincomalee and Kinniya, allowing citizens to bridge the Kinniya lagoon and use the A15 motorway to reach Kinniya and Muttur. On 20th October 2009, the bridge was built and proclaimed open.
