No beach is more magnificent than Mirissa, a crescent-shaped strip of beach flanked by green vegetation. You can enjoy exciting water sports activities such as sailing, fishing, coastal cruises, river trips, sea kayaking, snorkeling and boating activities. The south of Sri Lanka beyond Dondra is considered one of the best locations in the world for spotting Blue Whales, Sperm Whales and Spinner Dolphins. At Ahangama, Midigama and Weligama, surfers prowl the shores in search of some of the best waves in Sri Lanka.
Explore the south’s wildlife parks including Yala and Uda Walawe National Parks and Bundala and Kalametiya bird sanctuaries that are close to Mirissa. Experience the ancient southern heritage with a visit to the Mulkirigala Rock Temple, Tissamaharama or the shrine of Kataragama.
