South-coast nomad hub immediately adjacent to Weligama — Mirissa is the louder, more social, more nightlife-leaning neighbor. The bay is famous for blue whale watching (Nov–Apr) and Coconut Tree Hill is the iconic sunset spot. Surf is gentler and more beginner-friendly than the longer right at Weligama or the points further west. The two-monsoon system is critical: November–April is the dry/surf season on the south coast, May–October is wet (and Arugam Bay on the east becomes the surf base). Sri Lanka's ETA covers up to 270 days for many passports; formal DNV is still in development.
