Cradled along Sri Lanka’s south coast, Mirissa Beach is a tropical escape known for its golden sands, swaying palm trees, and turquoise waters that stretch to the horizon. Whether you're chasing waves, sunsets, or simply a moment of pure relaxation, Mirissa offers a laid-back beach experience that feels like paradise found.
Best Time to Visit

From sunbathing on silky sands to sipping king coconut under the shade of a coconut tree, Mirissa invites you to slow down and soak up island life. The gentle waves and shallow waters make it a favorite for families and swimmers, while surfers ride the larger breaks at the eastern end of the bay.
