Mirissa is a quaint seaside town on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, sharing Weligama Bay with the town of Weligama and other neighboring villages. The quiet atmosphere makes the town a fantastic option for peaceful and private beach holidays, though there are plenty of things to see and do. Whale watching and dolphin watching around the southern coast are popular from December until April since that is their annual breeding season. If you prefer on-land activities, Mirissa Eco Lagoon Safari will take you on a tour of a cinnamon farm, through the history of the area, and for some bird watching. If you’d like to explore on your own, there are many landmarks to visit, such as Parrot Rock, Mirissa Beach, and Coconut Tree Hill.
