Why Trincomalee is Sri Lanka's Most Underrated Beach Town

After exploring the ancient heights of Sigiriya and spending an unforgettable day tracking elephants and slender loris through the jungle, we made our way to Sri Lanka's east coast to discover Uppuveli Beach. In this video, we explore what makes Uppuveli one of Sri Lanka's most underrated beach destinations, from its laid-back atmosphere and great food scene to the long stretch of golden sand that makes it such a fantastic base for exploring the region. We also head into Trincomalee to visit Fort Frederick and Dutch Bay before making the trip north to Nilaveli Beach to answer a question many travellers ask: which is better, Uppuveli or Nilaveli? Whether you're planning your own Sri Lanka itinerary or simply following our family's journey around the world, this episode has a bit of everything: wildlife, history, local food, and beach life on one of Sri Lanka's most beautiful coastlines. ━━━━━ ⏰ Timecodes ⏰ 0:00 Intro 0:40 Arriving in Uppuveli Beach 2:54 The Best Rice & Curry in Uppuveli (We Went 6 Times) 4:26 Fort Frederick, Deer Park & Dutch Bay 9:46 Nilaveli Beach - Is It Worth It? 12:41 Exploring Uppuveli Town 14:50 Our Accommodation Fail (Why We Moved) 15:57 Goodbye From the Beach ━━━━━ 🎥 Gear used in this video Camera - Sony a6700 Lenses - Sony 16-55 f2.8 + Sony 11mm f1.8 Microphone - Sony ECM-M1 Tripod - Leofoto MT-04 Action Cam - DJI Action 5 Pro Drone - DJI Flip All Editing done on Final Cut Pro ━━━━━ 📲 Connect with us on social media!   / upandaway_adventures     / upandawayfamily   ☕ Support us directly https://buymeacoffee.com/upandaway 🔴 Work with us: [email protected] Have a question about travelling as a family? or want more info?
