Destination Overview

Essential background & heritage of Marble Beach, Trincomalee

Pristine naval bay boasting crystal glass waters smooth as polished marble, ideal for ocean bathing.

Tucked inside the protected deep waters of China Bay in Trincomalee, Marble Beach earns its name from its calm, glass-like surface that sparkles like polished marble in tropical sunlight. Surrounded by verdant forested hills with peacocks wandering the coastline, it is widely considered one of Sri Lanka’s most tranquil swimming bays.
