A small rocky outcrop at the western end of Mirissa Beach that you can climb for elevated views of the bay and coastline. The rock gets its name from the parrots that nest there, though they're more commonly seen at dawn and dusk. It's a popular spot for sunset photos and offers a different perspective of the main beach area. It ranks among Mirissa's most visited sights, and for good reason - most itineraries include it on day one. Entry is free and 30 minutes to 1 hour gives you a thorough visit.
What It Is
The visit is straightforward. 30 minutes to 1 hour gives you enough time to see everything at a comfortable pace.
Why Visit
Free viewpoint with good photo opportunities of Mirissa Bay. That puts it near the top of any Mirissa visit, and it deserves the spot. Combine it with Mirissa Beach and Secret Beach - they are close enough to walk between and together make the strongest half-day in Mirissa. Mornings are quieter if you want to take your time. Free entry makes the decision easy - walk in, see if it holds your attention, and leave when you have had enough.
