•The data pertains to the unexplored areas of heavy mineral concentration along the lagoonal and riverine beaches of the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka. •The study focuses on the southwestern coastline edge of the Bay of Bengal, examining the variations in coastline GSD. •Vijayan Complex, which is the basement and sediment source of study area, is related to the evolution of an island arc, juvenile crust of Grenvillian age, Lützow-Holm Bay region in East Antarctica.•The data show the GSD variations between followings: ilmenite, garnet placer deposits and siliciclastic sediment; crescent-shaped bays and straight beach sediment; numerous fluvial outlets and their gradual sinking distance increment on beach; and alongshore (~70 km) beach sediments.•The data can be reused for the studies of alongshore and fluvial sediment dynamics, depositional and erosion processes, engineering applications, Precambrian host rock, renewable heavy mineral, Bengal Bay sediment. •The data can be beneficial to heavy mineral industries, sedimentologists, researchers, and civil engineers.
