About Polhena Beach

Polhena Beach is a stretch of coastline located near Mirissa on Sri Lanka's South Coast, offering a quieter alternative to some of the busier beaches in the region. The beach attracts visitors looking to swim, snorkel and simply relax by the sea, with the relatively sheltered conditions generally making it accessible to a range of swimmers. Like many beaches along this southern shoreline, it draws both local families and international travellers seeking a more unhurried pace. The surrounding area provides opportunities to explore nearby coastal scenery, and the proximity to Mirissa means that accommodation, restaurants and other facilities are within reasonable reach for those basing themselves along this part of the coast.
