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

- Whale-Watching
Mirissa is known as one of the world’s best locations (amongst the top three possibly) for watching Blue Whales and Sperm Whales. In warm Indian Ocean you can see Blue whales, Bryde´s whales, Sperm whales, Fin whales, sometimes Killer whales, and Common dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, Spinner dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and Striped dolphins.
Sometimes you can see turtles and various fish species, for example Bluefin tuna and flying fish. Whales are always about 10 minutes under water and then they occur for short time on the surface of the ocean. At this moment you will appreciate the speed of boat. You will also spend less time on the way to the whales and back to the harbour with the speed boat. The whale watching season starts in November and ends in April. High season is from December to March. At this time is water of the coast of Sri Lanka warm and calm.
