    Mirissa’s main beach has many hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafes. It’s a long stretch of golden sand; palm trees sway gently in the breeze, and warm ocean waters greet the shore. Here, you can enjoy various activities such as swimming, surfing, snorkelling, or just soaking up the sun.

    Mirissa Beach is famous and gets busy during the season. For a more private and secluded beach, head to Secret Beach. A 7-minute drive from Mirissa Beach, reaching the location requires treading through a narrow pathway and carefully navigating some rocks.

    Secret Beach boasts pristine white sand and clear water, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the beauty of nature. There are two main sections of the beach. The first beach is excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Watch for turtles, as plenty swim around in the sea here.

    The second beach is just around the corner. It has a waist-deep lagoon that is perfect for floating around in. A rocky outcrop protects the lagoon, making it calm and easy to swim.
