Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Fishing Communities

Mirissa is a working fishing village as well as a tourist destination. Respect the fishing harbour, do not obstruct the fishermen's work, and ask before photographing them. Their livelihood depends on the same ocean you are enjoying.

Ocean Conservation

Do not feed, touch, or chase marine wildlife. Choose responsible whale watching operators that follow minimum distance guidelines. Do not remove coral, shells, or marine life from the reef. Dispose of plastic waste properly — ocean pollution is a serious threat to Sri Lanka's marine ecosystem.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Mirissa travel guide.
