Dutch Bay is a beautiful crescent of white sand in Trincomalee City. The suburb's tree-lined lanes are cluttered with crumbling colonial workingmen's cottages from the days of the Dutch occupation of Sri Lanka. Although Dutch Bay is right in the heart of Trinco, Uppuveli and Nilaveli Beaches to the north get the lion's share of visitors. Yet Dutch Bay and neighbouring Back Bay are unrivalled for character and friendliness; I also think they're more beautiful than the 'touristy' beaches up the coast.Right in the centre of Trinco is the attractive and picturesque Dutch Bay. Swimming is possible despite sometimes dangerous undertows. However, it’s more a place for strolling with an ice cream from the many vendors. The historic Fort Fredrick flanks one end of Dutch Bay, and a bushy headland, the other. Colourful fishing boats dot the beach like many stretches of sand in Trincomalee. But if you're all beached-out and fancy something a little edgier, a trip to the local beachfront bar can give you a taste of Sri Lanka during the days of civil war. The starkly furnished interior, decorated with chicken wire and a bunker of a bar, comes complete with a surly barman and a scattering of equally gruff patrons. I'll be back for New Year's Eve. It will be interesting what happens to Dutch Bay as more tourists flood into the area. I can imagine some of the night spots may be in for a polish, but I hope they have the foresight to retain the charming Dutch colonial buildings as they have in Galle.

Out of all the beaches uber been so far, this is the best I guess. This is because l, it is watched by life guards a d also the water Is way more safer. To add on, the water is jot that salty as well. It's more clear. This is a beautiful place as well. Trés bien......(.......very good........in French.........). After a hit as well, the tide starts to come in and the life guards are on guard. Some people in the later hours are advised to leave the shore and the beach since the bigger waves come in and it also gets darker. Very protective. This is better than the beach in Colombo......(.....Galle......face*.........beach........which is in one of my previous reviews which you should definitely read). There are no life guards there. You go in at your own risk. Your life is in your hands because no one really goes in more than 2-3 yards I the sea shore.

Rezension für Dutch Bay Dutch Bay ist ein wahres Paradies, das sich abseits der üblichen Touristenpfade versteckt. Die Ruhe und der Frieden dieses Strandabschnitts sind einfach unvergleichlich. Nur wenige Touristen verirren sich hierher, was den Strand zu einem idyllischen Rückzugsort macht. Ein besonders angenehmer Aspekt ist die geringe Menge an Müll. Dennoch könnte in einigen Bereichen noch mehr darauf geachtet werden, um die Sauberkeit zu verbessern. Stattdessen trifft man auf viele freundliche Hunde, die sich meist ruhig in den Schatten legen und das entspannte Ambiente genießen. Direkt vom Strand aus ist ein Supermarkt leicht erreichbar, was sehr praktisch ist, wenn man sich spontan mit Getränken oder Snacks versorgen möchte. Für Wassersportler bietet Dutch Bay eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten. Orte zum Tauchen und Schnorcheln sind sehr nah und leicht zugänglich. Die Wellen sind klein und harmlos, ebenso die Strömung, was den Strand auch für weniger erfahrene Schwimmer sicher macht. Eine Dusche gibt es im Hotel Trinko Beach, ansonsten haben wir keine gesehen. Am Abend verwandelt sich Dutch Bay in ein kulinarisches Mekka. Eisbahnen und verschiedene Essenswagen säumen den Strand, hauptsächlich besucht von Einheimischen, was dem Ort eine authentische und lebendige Atmosphäre verleiht. Für uns ist Dutch Bay der beste Strandabschnitt in und um Trincomalee. Es bietet die perfekte Kombination aus Ruhe, natürlicher Schönheit und vielfältigen Aktivitäten. Ein absoluter Geheimtipp für alle, die dem Trubel entfliehen und pure Entspannung erleben möchten.

There is the hotel andbthe free beach and the free beaxh is popular spot for dining even though there are limited facilities. No wash rooms availabe on site and place is infested with crows looking to snatch your snak any time. The trees are a wecome site due tobthe scroching sun in the afternoon. There were some deers spotted there and they are not easily botheredd by the crowd. Government can enhance the facilities and charge a small fee. At the momnet thisbis kor very much recommended.

This is a attractive area which is ideal for bathing, swimming and other water related activities such as snorkeling. The sad thing is Litter, sewage, plastic, and other pollutants do more than just ruin the beauty of the beach. Attitudes should be developed.
