Mirissa is one of the main beach destinations in southern Sri Lanka. The area has it all, beautiful Sri Lankan beaches, surf waves, whale watching, and great bars and restaurants. Mirissa is developing quickly over the last couple of years so it’s also getting more crowded. There are still enough spots where you can enjoy a fresh coconut from your hammock seeing the sunset. Spend about 2 – 4 days with these things to do in Mirissa.

Secret Beach, Mirissa

A small pristine secluded beach and somewhat harder to get to. Hence the name: Secret Beach. There are just one small bar and a local lady selling coconuts. Enjoy an incredible sunset from Secret Beach. Search on Google Maps for Secret Beach bar and ask a tuk-tuk driver to take you there. You will need to walk about 10 minutes down the road since this is too steep for the tuk-tuks.

Parrot Rock

In front of Mirissa Beach is a rock towering over the water, where you can climb up and see a bit of the Mirissa area. During high tide, you will be unable to reach the rock since even with low tide, it can already be a small challenge.
