One of Sri Lanka’s most popular tourist destinations, Mirissa is home to pristine beaches and has a booming nightlife scene. Perhaps the most alluring part of Mirissa is its proximity to marine life - whale and dolphin watching in Mirissa is a popular pastime for tourists in the months between November and March. During this time, the ocean is calm, and sightings of resident blue whales and spinner dolphins are most common.
Enjoy the thrill of water sports and surfing, dwell among the whales and dolphins of the Indian Ocean, or visit a low-country tea plantation that specialises in white tea for a rich, cultural experience.
