My suggestion

Apart from the busy main beach, you can find numerous coves and inlets and spend the night in one of the little guesthouses by the sea.

3 hours from Colombo, Mirissa is a small and pretty seaside resort situated on the southern coast of Sri Lanka.

My suggestion

From December to April, Mirissa is visited by migrating whales. Any chance to observe them is a magical moment that you will never forget.
