Secret Beach, Hidden beach in Mirissa, Sri Lanka.
This beach features three distinct sections: a central swimming area, a sheltered tidal rock pool named Blue Lagoon, and Palm Cove with snorkeling spots.
The beach remained concealed from regular tourism until recent years, maintaining its natural state while the main Mirissa Beach developed for mass tourism.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the shore, demonstrating sustainable fishing methods passed through generations in southern Sri Lanka.
Access requires a 200-meter walk from the nearest road, with tuk-tuk services from Mirissa town center costing approximately 400 Sri Lankan rupees.
The beach contains a natural rock pool formation where five different species of sea turtles frequently visit during morning and evening hours.
