Tips from the community

When it’s time to let loose a little and shake the salt from your hair with a boogie and a dance, there’s really nowhere better to head than Mirissa. Once a laid-back beach resort, the place has pumped up its hedonism and happy-hour scene in recent years. Start the night on the main beach, where beer deals and bean bag chatter abound. Then, make for the main road, for late-night roti and backpacker bars aplenty.
