Located just a bit outside of Trincomalee, Arisimale Beach is one of the most visited beaches in the locality. Surrounded in greenery and mountains, although small, the beach is a beautiful getaway. A great place to view sunsets, the beach offers an array of food and drink options. Holding a navy camp closeby, the place also has a parking space nearby.

Arisimale Beach lies off the beaten track about 50 kms North of Trincomalee in the town of Pulmude. In Tamil arisi means rice and malai means mountain. Thus this is the ‘Mountain of Rice’ in Tamil. The reason for name is in the sand. This beach is made of extremely large particles of sand, the size of a rice seed.

Due to the distance from Trincomalee, this beach is bare and void of shops and hotels. Beach is clean and the water is crystal clear but due to extreme heat in this region, the ideal time to visit the beach may be morning or evening.
