Pigeon Island, Coral reefs, Trincomalee, Nila

Pigeon Island National Park is one of the two marine national parks in Sri Lanka. Pigeon Island is situated 1 km off the coast of Nilaveli in the Eastern Province. Pigeon Island consists of two islands: a small pigeon island and a large pigeon island. The large pigeon island is surrounded by a coral reef, and the small pigeon island is surrounded by rocky islets. In 1963, Pigeon Island was designated as a sanctuary, and in 2003, it was re-designated as a national park in Sri Lanka. This pigeon island contains some of the best remaining coral reefs in Sri Lanka. This is one of the protected areas affected by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. 
 
Most of the tourists who visit the north-east of Sri Lanka never miss this beautiful and amazing place. Especially, there are many water activities around Pigeon Island. As it is away from the seashore, the tourists will take a speed boat to the pigeon island, and then you can do scuba diving, water motor boats, etc.
