A marine national park consisting of two small islands off the coast of Nilaveli Beach.
Pigeon Island National Park is a protected marine sanctuary situated off the coast of Nilaveli in eastern Sri Lanka. Renowned for containing some of the island's best-preserved shallow coral reef systems, the park comprises two small offshore islands surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. Visitors travel here primarily for snorkeling and scuba diving, where they can glide over vibrant live coral beds while encountering blacktip reef sharks, hawksbill and green sea turtles, and hundreds of species of colorful tropical reef fish. Its calm, warm waters and extraordinary marine biodiversity make it an unmissable destination for ocean lovers and underwater photography enthusiasts exploring Sri Lanka’s eastern shores.
