About Mirissa Beach

M irissa is a postcard-perfect beach destination on the south coast, beloved for its golden sands, gentle surf, and a thriving scene of beachside cafes under swaying coconut palms. This crescent-shaped bay offers both relaxation and adventure: by day you can lounge on the soft sand or go snorkeling, and by early morning you can set sail on whale watching trips to spot blue whales and dolphins offshore. At one end of the beach lies the photogenic Coconut Tree Hill, a famous Instagram spot at sunrise or sunset.
