Sink your toes into the golden sands of Mirissa, Sri Lanka's most famous beach escape and the best whale watching destination in South Asia! By day, relax in hammocks between palm trees; by dawn, cruise into the deep to witness blue whales - the largest animals on Earth.
Mirissa lies in the whale superhighway where blue whales feed year-round. The continental shelf drops suddenly, bringing deep-sea giants close to shore.
