Tucked away from the more frequented stretches of Mirissa's coastline, Secret Beach lives up to its name by offering a quieter alternative to the crowds that gather along the main shore. Reached by a short walk or tuk-tuk ride from town, this small cove attracts visitors seeking a more unhurried pace, where the emphasis falls on swimming, sunbathing and simply watching the waves rather than organised activity. The surrounding vegetation provides natural shade in places, and the atmosphere tends towards the relaxed rather than the commercial. As with much of Sri Lanka's south coast, the sea conditions here can vary considerably with the seasons, so it is worth checking local advice before swimming. A handful of informal food and drink vendors typically serve the beach during busier periods.
