A nice beach where you can swim. There is a wave, but it is relatively pleasant to swing on it. There are many services along the entire beach - bars, restaurants, sun beds and rentals. There is a shade for placing with a towel. On the left side there is a photogenic island with the opportunity to wade, but take shoes or endure sharp pebbles on the paths on the island.
It's nice to walk all over the beach, the sand is dense.
Beautiful sunsets, but even to the left behind the island is a cape where sunset pilgrims from all over the island gather. Many with beer, but do not leave garbage behind, do not be like the Lankans and the inhabitants of the jungle.
A beautiful beach, well suited for surfing. They ride on boards here almost every day, the shore is without sharp slopes, drops in depth. A huge number of restaurants on the beach, a good choice. True, when I was in October I didn't find any crabs, but that's okay. It started raining in early November. I haven't tried swimming with a mask. Only tourists swim in the ocean, for locals it is commonplace, which does not bring them pleasure. If you walk along the shore at sunset, you can see how turtles are saved from seagulls and cormorants. I lived exclusively on the banks of Mirissa for two weeks, I highly recommend it. I didn't like the other beaches.
