Mirissa

Mirissa is a laid-back beach town on the south coast and one of the best places in the world to go whale watching. Boats leave from the fishing harbour for a trip of two to two and a half hours, where you may see blue whales, sperm whales, fin whales, occasional orcas and many types of dolphins.

Back on shore, you can relax on its curved beach, watch the sunset from Coconut Tree Hill and enjoy fresh seafood.
