Mirissa is renowned for its turtle population, and visitors have the chance to witness these gentle creatures in their natural habitat. By embarking on a turtle-watching excursion, you can observe turtles swimming gracefully in the crystal-clear waters or witness the incredible sight of hatchlings making their way to the sea. It's an unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the wonders of marine life.Apart from its turtle conservation efforts, Mirissa Beach boasts a variety of attractions that cater to different interests. One of the must-visit spots is the Mirissa Harbor, where you can take boat tours to witness majestic whales and dolphins frolicking in the Indian Ocean. These exhilarating trips allow you to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, creating memories that will last a lifetime.For those seeking a more laid-back experience, Mirissa Beach offers a tranquil environment ideal for relaxation.

Coconut grove hill, located east of Merissa, far from the beach, is a seagull that stretches into the Indian Ocean, famous for its coconut trees. I don't know who found it here at first, but because of the moving scenery here, it quickly became an Internet celebrity attraction and appeared on various social platforms or websites. It's really beautiful to take pictures [scenery]

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Bentota help Tota 🛶 Boat tour Madu River maduganga lake Mangrove Mangrove Cave Forests grow in special ecosystems in tropical and subtropical coastal belts. The root system of mangrove forests is developed, and the sea is submerged at high tide, and a lush forest is formed at low tide. Cruise ships pass under bridges and train tracks, and visitors occasionally need to bow down. This is the entrance of the Madu River into the Indian Ocean. It is also a holy place for bird watching, and there are also many aquatic animals such as lizards, crocodiles, monkeys, birds and jellyfish. During the process, you can also visit a small island and visit a local spice production method.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hikkaduwa Beach, and I must say it left an unforgettable impression on me. This beautiful beach destination, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, is renowned for its great surfing conditions, high waves, and breathtaking sunsets. Here's my review of Hikkaduwa Beach.One of the standout features of Hikkaduwa Beach is its reputation as a surfer's paradise. If you're a fan of riding the waves, this is the place to be. The consistent swells and high waves make it an ideal spot for both beginners and experienced surfers. Whether you're looking to catch your first wave or conquer a challenging break, Hikkaduwa Beach offers an exhilarating surfing experience that won't disappoint.The beach itself is simply stunning. The powdery golden sand stretches along the coast, inviting visitors to relax and soak up the sun. The crystal-clear turquoise waters provide a refreshing escape from the heat, and the surrounding palm trees create a picturesque backdrop. Hikkaduwa Beach is well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasant environment for beachgoers.One of the highlights of my visit to Hikkaduwa Beach was witnessing the mesmerizing sunsets. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, painting an awe-inspiring picture. Watching the sun sink below the horizon while casting its warm glow on the waves is a truly magical experience. I highly recommend staying until dusk to witness the beauty of the Hikkaduwa Beach sunset.In terms of amenities, Hikkaduwa Beach offers a range of facilities to ensure visitors have a comfortable stay. There are several surf schools and rental shops available, providing equipment and lessons for those looking to learn or improve their surfing skills. Additionally, you'll find a variety of beachfront restaurants and cafes, offering delicious local cuisine and refreshing beverages.Ho

1. The water quality is general, there is more sediment; 2. There is a Buddhist temple on the island on the other side, free to visit, but slippers; 3. It is a "holy place" for local young couples to date and sprinkle dog food.
