Located at the mouth of the Mahaweli River, Trincomalee is the main port city of the east coast and is home to a breathtaking natural deep-water harbor, which happens to be the 5th largest in the world. Trincomalee is great for all types of water sports, and also whale-watching in Sri Lanka. It also hosts a number of cultural attractions such as the Thirukoneswaram Kovil in dedication of Lord Shiva and the dagoba that houses the hair-relic of the Buddha.
