Coral Cove Beach (Sri Lanka) is located outside the Trincomalee settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Coral Cove Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"Before setting foot on this beach, it's important to obtain clearance from the Sri Lanka navy who oversee the area. Nestled within the Trincomalee naval base, this is a secluded spot that is worth the extra effort to access. The beach offers a chance to take a refreshing dip in the ocean and explore the natural coral reef by snorkeling."

Ravindu Silva

"Nestled within the confines of the Trincomalee naval base, lies a pristine stretch of sandy shores. The beach is immaculately kept, with no litter or debris in sight. The natural beauty of the area is breathtaking, with crystal clear waters and stunning views. It's the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway or a romantic stroll."
