Mirissa Beach, Sri Lanka


Mirissa is a small beach town and a fishing port located on the Southern tip of Sri Lanka. The warm Indian Ocean is the only thing between you and the next large land mass, the continent of Antarctica or Africa.

Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka and your most likely entry point onto the Island unless you are swimming is about 150 km North West. This translated into roughly a 3-4 hour trip by road depending on traffic and how insane your driver is.
Mirissa Beach is sandwiched between the towns of Welligama and Matara and it is about 35 KM or 1 hour South of the fort city of Galle by bus.
Mirissa and its breathtaking sandy beach pretty much transforms your dreams and visions of a tropical paradise into an everyday reality.

Located close to the Southern tip of the Island of Sri Lanka and only about 200 km from the Equator, this secluded crescent shaped beach is the perfect place to sit back, relax and forget about all the hussle and bussle of your other life that’s a million miles away.

This small sandy tropical beach boasts some of Sri Lanka’s best and most stunning sunsets and sunrises.
All the Guest Houses in Mirissa are set back from the actual beach giving you the impression that you are on a deserted palm fringed island. Every now and again the silence is broken by the sound of a coconut falling on the sand or a chilled beer being opened by someone further up the beach.








Mirissa Beach is rapidly becoming a popular Surfer hangout during the months of November to March when it’s the rainy season on the East coast.
For some reason Mirissa Beach is well known to the Japanese Surfers .
