After returning to shore, spend relaxed time at Mirissa Beach, where you can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and ocean views at your own pace. Optional stops include scenic viewpoints such as Coconut Tree Hill for panoramic photography. In the late afternoon, travel back to Hiriketiya with a comfortable hotel drop-off.
