Mirissa is a scenic and captivating coastal town located in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. Known for its magnificent crescent-shaped beach, Mirissa is a haven for travelers who seek to dive into the serene beauty of nature. The turquoise waters are perfect for surfing and swimming while the golden sands offer an ideal spot for sunbathing.

I had a great time travelling solo in Mirissa. Locals are friendly and welcoming. Walking at night was not too much of an issue as the roads are quite illuminated at night. Some unwanted attention but only happened once.
