A small town on the South coast of Sri Lanka, Mirissa is regarded as the closest point to where Blue whales gather. Others such as Bryde’s whales, sperm whales, killer whales, pilot whales, and four kinds of dolphins (spinner dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, striped dolphin, Risso’s dolphin) can also be spotted offshore. Water sports facilities such as sailing, fishing, coastal cruises, river trips, sea kayaking, snorkelling and boating are also there for those looking for other activities.
The weather is generally fine, but the best time to visit Mirissa is from December to February.
