Private hire van but it’ll cost you upwards of 20k usually. Not a very cost effective way of traveling but if money is no issue then go for it! :-) I go frequently to Trinco - night ‘luxury’ bus leaves at 10 and 11pm from Colombo central and arrives 4am ish. 1200 rupees per person. Contact ‘Superline’ bus travels. It’s a coach and pretty comfortable.

May is usually the start of Southwestern monsoon so Trinco should be okay. Beach is about 200m away but the immediately near beach is inside the property of adjacent hotel Trinco Blu. You can use it after informing the security but it is usually crowded. Hotel arranges lagoon rides as well as ocean activities depending on the weather. Better to call them ahead and enquire about activities like snorkeling. There are a lot of places of interest around Trincomalee so the best thing would be to look in Tripadvisor on suggestions, pick out what you'd like, and ask the hotel whether things could be arranged within the duration of your stay. That being said, enjoy the beaches and seafood as much as you can.

The North-eastern monsoon will be active in November but it's difficult to predict the amount of rain since the weather patterns are not very reliable. But if monsoon is active with rough seas activities like snorkeling at pigeon island would be affected.
