Mirissa Şehri
Sri Lanka'nın güney kıyı şeridinde yer alan pitoresk bir koy plajı olan Mirissa, Colombo'nun 146 km güneyinde bulunmaktadır. Mirissa'ya Colombo–Galle–Hambantota kara yolu ile ve ayrıca Colombo–Galle–Matara güney kıyı demiryolu hattı üzerinden ulaşılabilir. Güzel Weligama plajını birkaç kilometre geçtikten sonra, koyu çevreleyen yoğun hindistancevizi ağaçlarının arasında neredeyse gizlenmiş olan Mirissa'nın en güzel plajı bulunur. Burası yüzme, şnorkelle dalış, spor balıkçılığı, deniz kayağı, koy etrafında tekne gezileri ve diğer su sporları için ideal bir plajdır.
Mavi balinalar: Mirissa, Sri Lanka'nın güzel plajlarında görülebilecek en heyecan verici deniz yaşamı cazibe merkezlerinden biri olan mavi balinaları görme fırsatı sunar. Aralık ayından Nisan ayına kadar olan dönemde yaklaşık 6 saatlik bir tekne yolculuğunda Mirissa açıklarında birkaç kilometre uzaklıkta mavi balinalar görülebilir.
Mirissa köyü: Koyu ve balıkçı limanı ile Mirissa, ziyaretçileri sakin ve özel bir plajdaymış gibi hissettiren basit bir balıkçı köyüydü. Bu durum başkaları tarafından keşfedilene kadar devam etti. Günümüzde Mirissa gelişmekte olan bir köydür.
Mirissa ayrıca TripAdvisor, Viator ve GetYourGuide üzerinde de yer almaktadır.
