Mirissa

Whales, Palms and a Perfect Crescent Bay

Best: Nov – AprTwo to three daysSouth Coast

Overview

Mirissa is the south coast at its most relaxed: a curving bay of golden sand, palm trees leaning over the water, and seafood dinners on the beach at night. Climb Coconut Tree Hill for the classic sunset view, swim off the rocks at Parrot Rock, or watch surfers at nearby Weligama. In season, boats leave early in the morning for the deep water offshore, one of the best places in the world to see blue whales. We book a responsible operator and plan the trip for the calmest days.
