Rock-sheltered swimming a tuk-tuk ride from Mirissa, with snorkel gear and loungers rented from the one beach bar.

A set of small coves on the west side of the Mirissa headland, about 2 km from the main beach and a 40-minute walk that ends with a short steep track. The Blue Lagoon cove has shallow water behind a natural rock barrier and is the swimming spot; Palm Cove beside it is rockier and quieter. No lifeguard.
