East Coast
Undiscovered beaches, surf breaks, and Tamil Hindu traditions.
Sri Lanka's East Coast is the island's last frontier: pristine beaches, legendary surf at Arugam Bay, and Tamil Hindu culture distinct from the Buddhist south. Here, temple festivals explode in color and empty beaches stretch for miles.
We also reach Trincomalee, the Koneswaram temple, and Marble Beach on the eastern shore.
