Secret Beach Mirissa
Beach
😐 The place is very beautiful but I give it 3 stars because you cannot swim there. The water has 40-50 cm and is full of rocks 3 meters away from shore.
They have also a nice bar with restaurant.
Sun beds are 500 rupee but if you order from the bar they are free.

👍👍 Interesting experience. You get to see many snakes, and you can also touch them and have them crawl over you if you are not afraid (but it is safe). And the owner is friendly. We recommend visiting.

Weligama Beach (surf and stay)

🫤 Not sure why many of the other reviews don't mention how much rubbish is on this beach. During off season (May), this beach was empty but full of plastic trash. Weligama beach certainly didn't look like any of the pics in the other reviews. Perhaps during peak season it's tidied up? Out of the 4 pop...
