Had an amazing time at the beach in Mirissa, Sri Lanka! The sandy shores and crystal-clear water were perfect for relaxation and swimming, while the iconic coconut tree hill made for some unforgettable photos. The beach vibe was fun and laid-back, with plenty of beach bars and cafes serving up delicious seafood and tropical drinks. We even spotted a few sea turtles while snorkeling!

The most beautiful beach! Also so good for swimming and surfing! It was clean and the atmosphere was fantastic. We truly loved it. We saw the most amazing sunset from there too, so do not leave until it gets dark because it's worth it. Plenty of bars and hammocks and options too for everyone around. Funny enough there is not an specific entrance, so you have to navigate and enter by the hotels or restaurants mostly, but otherwise great.
Anything travels

Traveling to Sri Lanka, if you don't want to go through the ancient architectural monuments of the cultural delta very hard, just want to go to the beach for a limited time in a limited few days, then you must go to the beaches of southern Sri Lanka, and the most famous of course is Two beaches in Mirissa and Unawatuna.
There is no over-exploitation, natural and pure. Although the beach is not big, the beach under the coconut trees is delicate and soft. The sea is dark blue and pure. It is not only suitable for swimming, diving and surfing. It is also a whale watching in Sri Lanka. Watching one of the best places! The sunset of
Mirissa is also the most beautiful. When the sun sets, many tourists hold the camera and wait on the beach. When the sun slowly falls into the earth, the golden glow reflects the entire beach. Leave a golden sunshine.

After a short break at the hotel, we counted the time of the sunset and went to the beach. It takes about 10 minutes to walk and you can arrive.
Merissa is one of the three major beach resorts on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The waters here are very clear and the beach is surrounded by coconut palms. When the wind blows, the leaves make a rustling sound, which is very wonderful. The reefs and rocky areas on both sides of the beach are ideal for snorkeling. If you like surfing, the waves at the western end of the bay are capricious and will bring you lots of fun and challenges.
The waves here are not small, but the feeling is very quiet. The color of the sunset in the United States and the United States is like an anime-like world of the second dimension.
We walked slowly along the beach to see people of all shapes and sizes. The sun has fallen, and the beautiful sunset glows red. The day is coming to an end. I dont feel sad, I feel that everything is on schedule, and its just right. There are many seafood restaurants on the beach
, the ingredients here are very fresh and the price is not expensive. But we actually ate too late for lunch, and we still couldn't eat dinner at this time. So I and the fat brother chose to go to the supermarket, in case they are hungry at night, they can have something to eat.

Sri Lanka, the planet of Lonely Planet, commented on Mercer, and it is undeniable that it is beautiful with Mirissa, but perhaps because of the troublesome text messages of the little friends, it may also be the fatigue of travel for a few days. At this moment, come to Meridsha, I The only thing I wanted to do was to lie in the hotel's swimming pool, thinking about nothing, not wanting to do anything, just lying without any thoughts.
Mirissa is a place to sit and lie, not to do something, but the water here is very clear, the reefs and rocky areas on both sides of the beach are small for snorkeling. The partner is undoubtedly the most ideal place. As for those who like to surf, the wave of the western part of the bay is fun-filled but also fun, and many hotels or inns have equipment rentals for snorkeling and surfing.
If you want to walk, there are a lot of places to walk around Miresha. From the main road, go up a row of steep steps, then you can come to the small kandavahari temple, where you can enjoy the cape. The scenery of the entire Weligama Bay.
Specially recommended activity is that almost everyone who goes to Mirissa will participate. Watching whales by boat can be registered through a hotel or street travel agency.

Sri Lanka A very famous fishing culture. The people of Lanka have been fishing for a long time. Most people will go fishing by boat. For those who are poor, even fishing boats can't afford it. They have to use this unique sorghum fishing method for fishing.
It is well known that this fishing culture has now disappeared. The Indonesian tsunami has been a big blow to Sri Lanka, and fishing is part of it. Since then, fewer people have used this method to fish. At present, they are more used as a way of making a living, mostly in the seaside of Mirissa to Unawatuna.
It's worth noting that you have to pay when you take a photo. There are several photo points along the way. There are few fishermen and some are numerous. Of course, people are relatively cheaper. The first photo point I encountered at that time was only two fishermen, so I spent 300 rupees to shoot. . Later, when I took photos, I found that other places could even be used for tourists to take photos. The cost is naturally more expensive. If you have a need, you must bargain.

In the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Mirissa is the latest open batch, so now you can also see the large coconut palms on the beach, the development project has not affected the natural scenery too much. The sea is very clear and the reefs near the coast are a good place to snorkel. The most attractive thing here is to go out to see whales and dolphins. The mirissa beach during the day is very beautiful. Mirissa is very suitable for couples or couples to come on holiday, there is no big beach, but it is very beautiful, the sky is blue and blue in the daytime, the pink in the evening! After a slow rhythm for two days, in the morning, I was sunbathing on the beach to enjoy the water. In the afternoon, I was looking for a pub to have a cup of juice to read the book, which was quiet and beautiful.
