The experience

Make the most of your visit

  • An image house with low-country painting traditions
  • Buddhist art within a living temple setting

Before you go

  • Confirm the Mirissa temple identity, permitted entrance and image-house opening with the custodian. This is not Lankapatuna Samudragiri Viharaya or Kamburugamuwa Samudratheera Viharaya.
  • Dress respectfully, remove shoes where required and ask before photography. Follow restrictions protecting the murals; do not assume manuscripts or every shrine room are on public display.

Coconut Tree Hill

Mirissa

Coconut Tree Hill is a palm-covered headland overlooking the sea near Mirissa. The contrast between the slender coconut trunks, open ground and ocean horizon gives the site its familiar photographic character. It offers a different coastal perspective from the main beach, with a visit dependent on the currently permitted approach and viewing area.

Garanduwa Lagoon

Mirissa

Garanduwa Lagoon lies inland from Mirissa’s coast, with mangroves and other wetland vegetation around its waters. The landscape has attracted biodiversity research and offers a natural-history interest beyond the beaches. A land-based visit should use an agreed viewing area, with the surrounding homes, habitats and working waterways treated respectfully.
