Mirissa Beach

1 of 5

Mirissa will always be one of the best beaches. The beach is breathtaking. There are five beaches and coves to choose from. Each one is lovely.

Swimming with children is possible in some locations. Fans can try surfing in designated areas. There are two surf spots in the area. Turtle Bay is a bay where you can always see some turtles which swim somewhere there. Yes, Mirissa is a fantastic snorkeling spot. There is the white beach, black sand, and enormous coral that you may gaze at for hours.

Mirissa has grown in popularity as a tourist resort. This means that the tourists will find everything they need. Small stores, souvenir shops, a supermarket, pharmacies, ATMs, alcohol shops, and various guesthouses and hotels catering to multiple tastes and budgets are all available. There's even a tourist police force!

There is a port at Mirissa. This is the only location from which whale-watching cruises can be taken. The harbor itself is a vibrant and colorful environment with many boats—the best place for taking photos.

You should buy fresh fish in the port in the morning. I also advise you to visit Perot Rock and the coconut grove.

Mirissa is still a tiny village. The city of Weligama is located on one side of Mirissa (10 minutes on transport). The central town of Matara is on the other side of the mountain (20 minutes by car). The cities have everything you might be needed. Hospitals, for example.
