Mirrisa. Have fun.

Hi, It depends on mode of travel. Car, bus or train. But an average of 2 hours is about right.

We had very little wind in the three days that we were in Mirissa. There is enough to make it surfer friendly, but it did not affect us on the shore at all. We can’t wait to go again.

Whale watching is a great activity you can do from there.

Hi, I’ve just come back from Mirissa! The nightlife has picked up and there is a party at a different bar every night. Also there are lots of bars and restaurants if you want a quiet night. I’m not sure what it was like before but it was beautiful and enough for me. Each night a different bar on the beach has a big party! Very friendly and lots of fun

Oh! I haven’t see this until now! Sorry!

When we went there were lots of dogs. Depends how good yours is with others. We found there were a lot of dogs that appeared to be stray but one of the cafe owners said they are all owned, it’s just people let them roam.

Head up here, I know that you tore large portions of restaurants and bars by Merrisa Beach in March-April. What's good is that you choose to go when it is high season. so there are lots of nice places to visit, and generally there are not many miles in between them in the southern parts of Sri Lanka. Have a good trip now. Best regards. Pieter

Well, let's say that in the wet season and their "winter", lots of beaches are closed down or at least running low. But in October it should slowly come back to life, even if still early in the season. There's a nice place to stay at the far right end of the beachwhen facing the sea, Surf and Breeze if I remember well. Nice people, very clean, good food, the beach is more a rocky cove but no big waves. Shady too. Another great place to stay, not on the beach this time, is Secret garden. They also have an amazing spa/massage place Calle Secret Root. Lovely setting in a garden with frangipani. That's where we stayed six years ago for our first visit to Sri Lanka. If you have a look at my reviews concerning Mirissa and the rest of Sri Lanka, you might find answers to other questions. Enjoy the discovery of this beautiful country. It does wear well it's name of pearl of the Indian Ocean. Hope this will help.
