The town is roughly 13 kilometers (8 miles) from the Kokmaduwa Interchange of the Southern Expressway and 2 kilometers (1+1⁄4 miles) west of the Mirissa railway station, which is on the Coastal or Southern Rail Line, which connects Colombo through to Matara. Your fantasies of a tropical paradise are essentially brought to life by Mirissa and her stunning sandy beach. This remote crescent-shaped beach, which is only 200 kilometers from the equator and at the southern tip of the island of Sri Lanka, is the ideal spot to unwind and forget about the hustle and bustle of your other life. Some of Sri Lanka's most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets may be seen at this little sandy tropical beach. You get the feeling that you are on an island fringed by palm trees because all of Mirissa's guest houses are situated far from the actual beach. The sound of a coconut hitting the sand or someone farther up the beach opening a cold beer occasionally breaks the stillness.
