Mirrissa is among the famous beach getaways in southern Sri Lanka. Mirissa has got it all, from beautiful beaches, surfing waves, expeditions for whale watching, excellent restaurants and so much more! Mirissa has been developing rapidly over the years which means you are about to be welcomed by large crowds. However, you will still be able to find cosy spots to watch the sunset from the comfort of your hammock whilst enjoying a refreshing coconut drink! Here are a number of things to check out when in Mirissa!
The Secret Beach is a small, immaculate, secluded beach that is a little difficult to reach. Consequently, it was given its name: Secret Beach. You can find a small pub and a local lady selling fresh coconuts here. You will be able to enjoy an unbelievable Secret Beach sunset. Search for 'Secret Beach bar' on Google Maps and ask an Auto/rickshaw driver to take you there. The last leg of the journey to get here will require you to walk for 10 minutes, as its too steep for the tuk-tuks. Besides, if you're looking for hotels in Mirissa, Sri Lanka that offers coastal views, you can check out properties like Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa.
This is a rock that towers over the waters in front of the Mirissa Beach. When you opt to climb up, you'll get a delightful view of the surrounding area in Mirissa. You will not be able to reach the rock during high tide as it is quite a challenge even the tide levels are low.
A tiny coconut tree farm is located on a hilltop just 15 minutes away from the famous Mirissa Beach. The views from here are absolutely phenomenal. Getting here is pretty easy as you can locate it on Google Maps. The farm itself provides picturesque views, an ideal spot for any photo shooting you have in mind when in Sri Lanka!
Are you ready to partake in a lively party with surfing vibes in the afternoons? The Doctor's House is the ideal place for you to visit in the afternoons! It is only a 15-minute drive out of Mirissa and a visit here is highly recommended. It has the perfect laid-back atmosphere for relaxation ad offers great food, beverages, and live music!
Mirissa has brilliant marine life you have to check out! Whale watching tours in Mirrissa is a very popular activity for this reason alone. You can head to the mighty Indian Ocean with a guide to spot whales, turtles, and dolphins. Whale watching is popular between November and March which is the peak season for these divine marine creatures.
In Sri Lanka, Mirissa Beach is recognised as one of the best spots on the island for surfing. The waves are fantastic and are deemed ideal for surfing. Surfers from all over the globe gather from October to March for an unforgettable experience!
