Green Bay 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, 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

"Green Bay Beach is an absolutely heavenly natural beach. The place's natural beauty remains unchanged as it is not accessible to the general public. Due to the surrounding jungle, the beach is adorned with a green hue, creating a picturesque view of the sea. However, the water is exceptionally clear and pristine."

Rinara Dilshan Silva

"This beach is absolutely pristine and untouched. It can only be reached through the naval base, so you do need to obtain permission in advance, which makes accessing it quite challenging. However, if you manage to make it there, it's definitely worth it. The water is a stunning turquoise color and the sand is light and beautiful."
