Mirissa, a popular resort destination in southern Sri Lanka, is known for its beautiful beaches and natural attractions.

Life jackets and seasickness pills are provided, though we opted for our own remedies from home. Stilt Fishermen Stilt fishermen gained fame after appearing on the cover of Lonely Planet in 2009. This unique and ancient fishing method, known as the "world's coolest fishing style," is a must-see in southern Sri Lanka. Historically, fishermen couldn't afford boats, so they erected wooden poles in the sea and sat on them with fishing rods. The Rock View Place, located on the road from Mirissa to Galle, is a popular spot to see stilt fishermen. Photos without fishermen cost 1500-2000 LKR, while photos with two fishermen cost 3000 LKR. Despite some complaints about the fees, the experience of sitting on a pole and fishing is worthwhile. Accommodation Mirissa's main street features a stretch of sandy beaches and a beautiful coastline on one side, with hotels, restaurants, and dive shops on the other. It's recommended to choose a hotel close to the main attractions for convenience.

This is in the beach resort area in the south of Sri Lanka. "Coconut Tree Hill". Many Western tourists visit here. Park your motorbike a little way off the main road and walk for about 5 minutes to reach the view. It's quite mysterious how the coconut trees grow sparsely on the hill. The ocean waves are just right, so it's recommended to spend a little time here.
