Province de l'Est

Eastern Province Unmissables

Sri Lanka's Eastern Province is defined by its diverse coastal and inland geography. The region features the shallow, calm bays of Passikudah and the world-renowned surf breaks of Arugam Bay. Historical sites include the 17th-century Fort Frederick in Trincomalee and the colonial-era iron bridge in Batticaloa. Further inland, the Senanayaka Samudraya stands as the country’s largest reservoir, while the southern reaches provide access to the bird sanctuaries of Kumana.
