Mirissa is a stunning beach town in Sri Lanka, the ideal spot to relax in a hammock sipping a fresh coconut. From large blue whales to turtles, the glistening blue waters are teeming with marine life. The tiny, remote Secret Beach may be all yours if you're lucky enough to have it to yourself. The massive red-colored mound known as Parrot Rock stands directly in front of Mirissa Beach, towering over the ocean. For beautiful views of the beaches below with palm trees lining them, ascend the stairs to the summit. It's especially well-liked in the evening. Before you go there, be sure to check the tides!
