          Mirissa is a small town located on the south coast of Sri Lanka. It belongs to the Mathara district and there are about 240 kilometers from Colombo.

          Mirissa has a stunning crescent beach where many people get attracted. And it is very much famous for the coconut palm and polhena beach. You will find modest guesthouses abound and there's a string of simple restaurants at the back of the sand. In recent years Mirissa has developed a reputation as a party destination for young travelers, and in high season DJ spin pumping tunes till late several nights a week. If you're looking for solitude and zen-like calm, this may not be the beach for you.
