Polhena Beach

1 of 4

In general, this is a fantastic beach and a worthy alternative to the expensive Mirissa. Polhena is located between Mirissa and Matara (rather near Matara). 20 minutes drive from Mirissa. The beach is situated away from the busy coast's main road, Galle Road. This is very good because you do not need to cross this risky route. There are tiny and quiet streets within Polhena.

The beache at Polhena is small and lovely. Sand, palm trees, pebbles, and corals are all present. Almost all of the water's entry points are sandy and moderately sloping.

Notice: sometimes, in bad weather, there are undercurrents that flow along the coast. Not scary, but be careful.
