Travel Guides and trips for Mirissa South

About Mirissa

We were not so keen on visiting Bentota island (very commercial) while in Sri Lanka, so we headed to Mirissa beach instead & thank lord we did !! We choose to book a cab (cz we were pretty worked up from our earlier treks) from Nuwara Eliya which cost up LKR 16000. One can also travel via train or bus (The closest commercial bus station is Matara) , which do not have direct routes but is a much cheaper option. The drive was amazing with couple of touristy spots in between like Sita Temple, Ravana Falls & Caves & tea estates. After 7 hours of drive (including stops), we reached Mirissa

Visited Mirissa which was a last minute entry in my itinerary. I took the small trek to the Coconut Tree hill and spent around 30-40mins enjoying the heavy breeze and the uncountable coconut trees perched over Indian ocean forming a dome like structure.

The Best Beach in Sri Lanka- Mirissa

By Neha Jain

Our driver had arranged for Whale Watching tour (5,000/- per person, kids free) next morning, through Mirrisa Whale Horizon ship for which we left at 6 am. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales but saw two pods of dolphins. You go very far out in the sea and water is rough and wind is strong, and this is something unique about this experience. However, apart from that this is also skip-able activity I feel, since even in best case scenario you are going to see just back and fins of Whale.I also felt that ship crew knew no whales were going to be around but they just went anyway, and intentionally had rough ride, so that by 4 hours in, most passengers had vomited and given up, and they had easy time convincing passengers to return back without watching whales while at the same time making it appear passengers' decision. I won't necessarily blame Horizon for this though, as all ships pretty much had same routine.If you do go, note that wind is strong (no need for caps), and it can be cold (light jacket is fine), water and sandwiches are provided free, and ticket prices may differ for lower deck and upper deck. We were fairly exhausted by the time ship returned at 1 pm - there is something in strong breeze which is simultaneous pleasant and exhausting even if you have done nothing but sat on a boat - and went to our hotel for lunch and nap.

Mirissa Whale Watching Activity :Yes, you heard right we have taken the tickets for ship which took us inside the Indian Ocean. After 3-4 hours sailing in the Indian ocean we got a chance to see the whale. Oh my god that was really amazing. I was not expecting that i will be lucky enough to see 4-5 whales. We have seen different type of fishes like dolphins, flying fish and some other.Except this ,entire journey of ship was amazing.Best Time To Visit : Morning and EveningEntry Fee : 1500 rs/person for whale watching

In the evening, I took a walk to the Mirissa's Lighthouse point which is actually located in a private hotel. Here, I spent some time on the private beach also which felt like an amazing luxury.Then, I headed to the Mirissa beach to watch the last sunset in Mirissa.

We left for Mirissa the next day although there wasn't any direct bus to reach. You have to take a bus to Matara which costs about 140 INR and takes 3-4 hours to reach. From Matara, we got a local bus to Mirissa for 15 INR.In Mirissa, I was again staying with a Couchsurfing host who was from Italy and aged 60. He was the sweetest person I had ever met and made me fall in love with his cooking. After having lunch with him, I made my way to the Mirissa beach and spent the entire day there, just playing in the water or looking at the invisible sunset (it was too cloudy and misty).Mirissa is a quiet town so there weren't many parties or stuff going on here. So, it was a relaxed day for me.

Mirissa : So we are very thankful to our cab driver (who was Sri Lankan). Our driver gave us advice to visit the Mirissa. Definitely this was not in our plan and I can say this is the most beautiful place which I have seen. Crystal clear beaches surrounded by palm trees makes the place more beautiful.

On our way to Mirissa today, we can have a quick pit stop at the Ravana Falls because it is right on the way. If you are visiting in summers, budget some time to take a dip into the Fairy Pools here. We however, were there in December, so we chose to start slightly late instead!Let me take a moment here to specify that there are a couple of other beach towns you could choose to stay in – Weligama, Matara, Tangalle, Bentota. However, we chose Mirissa because not only it has one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka but also for its close proximity to whale watching. And boy! Are we not glad we did that! Actually our resort was in Matara which is 10 KM away from the main Mirissa beach town.The drive from Ella to Mirissa should take you around 5 hours with a short lunch break in between. Spend today to just stroll around, probably grab some coconut water, have a few drinks in one of the many beachside shacks.
