Commonwealth War Cemetery
You can stroll up to the beautifully kept, yet immensely sad, Commonwealth War Cemetery. This is the last resting place for over 600 servicemen who died at Trinco during WWII, most of them during a Japanese raid on 9 April 1942 that sank over a dozen vessels. The simplicity of the lines of graves and their often moving epitaphs bring a tear to the eye. Donations are appreciated.

Hotel Club Oceanic
The excellent dinner buffet at this top-end hotel is a favourite of NGO workers for miles around. If you know that quantity doesn’t always equate to quality, then choose from the à la carte menu featuring reasonable Western and better Sri Lankan dishes. Drinks cost (a lot) extra.

Lotus Park
Believe the menu and you’ll think that the cooks here can whip up anything under the sun. Anything that’s fish, curry or a bizarre Sri Lankan version of pasta, that is. Still, the beachfront dining is nice.

Salli Muthumariamunam Kovil
Beachfront Salli Muthumariamunam Kovil is 4km by road from Uppuveli but only a short hop by boat; it’s directly across Fishermen’s Creek, masked from view by green-topped rocks.
