Coconut Tree Hill is presumably the most well-known place in Mirissa. You can watch the infinite sea and Mirissa bay area from the top of this amazing place. It takes you 10-15 min walk up the street from Mirissa Beach. You can reach here through Bandaramulla temple and also you can access this place via the beach. Accessing via the beach would be difficult if the sea is rough. This place has become so popular that a lot of people wish to make a popular frame of the headland leaving the sea with coconut trees. We recommend reaching this place in the morning or before sunset. If you love this place, make sure don’t throw any rubbish here.
