MIRISSA

Spend your days, soaking in the sun on a hammock and whale-watching at the little village of Mirissa, one of the most appealing beach hideaways in Sri Lanka. The real world will be forgotten as soon as you enter this beachy paradise. Mirissa definitely has to be on your list of beautiful places to visit in Sri Lanka for an amazing holiday. Not everyone is fond of the rush and crowd of the city. Many of us want to spend our holidays in peace and in some quiet places. So, if you too are one such person and you are in Sri Lanka, then you should definitely visit this beautiful village called Mirissa.




1. Hit Up The Beautiful Beach

One of the best things to do in Mirissa Beach Sri Lanka, unsurprisingly, is hit the beach!Mirissa beach is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. It’s palm tree-lined with white sand, turquoise water and the perfect amount of waves. I’m not a huge fan of the pounding waves you sometimes get on the surf coast of Australia and this wave was just right for me. And just right to do a ‘lil bodyboarding. I’d recommend heading to Mirissa beach Sri Lanka pretty early and parking yourself in a shady spot under a palm tree. The beach can get a little busy from 11 am. And it seems to be full of people who don’t understand that if your beach towel is touching mine you’re too close… Amiright guys!? Anywhoo a few peaceful early hours at the beach is all you need.

2. Eat Some Of The Best Food In Sri Lanka

One of the top things to do in Mirissa is eating this amazing smoothie bowl from Shady Lane.One of the very best things to do in Mirissa Sri Lanka is eat! And as we spent almost a week in this paradise I had a pleasure of trying almost all of the best restaurants in Mirissa. My absolute faves were; Shady Lane for the perfect Australian style brekki of avo on toast with poached eggs and other toppers, and their delish smoothie bowls; Margherita Italiano for their next-level pastas and amazing service; Little Tuna Sushi for the freshest sushi in town; No 1 Dewmini Roti Shop to try drool-worthy homemade Sri Lankan food (please note, if you want curry you need to order a day in advance); And Barista Cafe for the best coffee on the island. I’m talking perfectly foamed lattes guys! Do yourself a favour and try any of the above best restaurants in Mirissa Sri Lanka. You won’t be disappointed!


3. Snap A Pic In A Palm Tree Forest

One of the best places to visit in Mirissa is this incredible palm tree forest.One of the best places to visit in Mirissa is the secret palm tree forest just past Mirissa Beach. To get there you can either walk along the busy Matara Road until you see the sign for The Sea Star Hotel. Turn right and there is a little path that will lead you to the forest. Alternatively just walk along the beach from Mirissa Beach away from Colombo. you’ll pass through about three bays and then you’ll have to climb up a steep rocky path to the top of the forest. From here you can also sit and watch the surfers if you’re there around sunrise or sunset.



4. Climb Parrot Rock

Climbing Parrot Rock is one of my favourite things to do in Mirissa Sri Lanka.Another one of the top things to do in Mirissa Sri Lanka is to climb to the top of Parrot Rock. Now when I say climb I’m probably over exaggerating. Parrot Rock is the little mound you can see overlooking Mirissa Beach. There’s a sign that says private property, but we were told by locals we could just ignore that. It’s a really nice thing to either do around sunrise or sunset to watch the activity starting or wrapping up on the beach.




5. Snorkel Turtle Bay


One of my fave money saving tips when travelling, especially to a beach destination, is packing your own snorkel. And one of the top Mirissa activities is snorkelling in Turtle Bay. Turtle Bay is one bay over from Mirissa beach and is really only swimmable in low tide as the ocean completely swallows the sand at high tide. If you head here early in the morning you might be lucky enough to snorkel with some of the local turtles. Fingers crossed Turtle Bay lives up to its name for you!
