\u201cArisi Malai\u201d \u2013 beach with unique sand – <\/strong>By Arundathie Abeysinghe<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Arisi<\/p>\n

\"\"Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon is an island country in South Asia situated in the Indian Ocean, southwest of the Bay of Bengal and southeast of the Arabian Sea separated from the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar as well as the Palk Strait. Sri Lanka is rapidly gaining global recognition as one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world. The island nation offers diverse landscapes from spectacular mountains, rolling carpets of tea, cascading waterfalls, rainforests to endless kilometers of white sandy beaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Trincomalee, popularly referred to as \u201cTrinco\u201d by many Sri Lankans, is home to an uninterrupted stretch of spectacular coastline with crystal clear white sandy beaches and clear blue waters that stretch for almost 30 kilometers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trincomalee is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches in Sri Lanka including Nilaveli Beach, Uppuveli, Kuchchaveli and *Marble Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Situated off the beaten track in a semi forest area in Pulmude along Nilaweli Uppuweli road, approximately 50 kilometers north of Trincomalee, sand of the beach at \u201cArisi Male\u201d is unique. The majority of tourists visiting Trincomalee do not visit this beach as it is not a popular site. This is a small beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArisi Male\u201d (\u201cArisi\u201d meaning rice and \u201cMale\u201d meaning the beach) or ‘Mountain of Rice’ in Tamil, the Beach has extremely large particles of sand, the size of a grain of rice. Unlike the sand in the beaches in other parts of Sri Lanka, the sand in this beach is not sticky and can be wiped off easily as it does not stick on the feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a Navy Camp situated in close proximity to “Arisi Malai” and visitors to the Beach need to park their vehicles in front of the camp and walk approximately 1\/ 2 kilometer to reach the Beach. Crystal clear shallow water and the gentle waves tempt visitors to bathe at this location. The surrounding vistas are breathtaking \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Many visitors call this beach as \u201cthe hidden beach in Trincomalee\u201d as it is not a beach visited by many tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n
