About This Attraction

Mirissa Sri Lanka

Parrot Rock in Mirissa is a small rock formation located just off the coast of Sri Lanka, offering visitors a panoramic view of the surrounding beaches and ocean. Accessible during low tide, it provides a unique vantage point ideal for photography or simply enjoying the natural scenery. It is important to check the tides before planning your visit, as the rock can become isolated by water at high tide. While there are no official Parrot Rock opening hours, visiting during daylight is recommended for safety and visibility.

To reach Parrot Rock, you can walk from Mirissa Beach, which is nearby and popular among tourists. The climb up the rock is relatively easy but requires careful footing on uneven surfaces. Visitors are advised to wear sturdy shoes for better grip. There are no facilities on the rock itself, so bringing water and other essentials is advisable. This spot offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views that attract both locals and tourists alike.
