- AnuradhaNew Delhi, India1,258 contributionsNice view of coconut treesVery nice place. Do visit if you are staying close by. Coconut groves with beautiful view of sea looks amazing. Nice place to click photographs, space being less it tends to get crowded. Do visit early morning. It’s very close to turtle beach, visit to which can be combined.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 9 January 2024
- GBJ-CookiesSouth Shields, United Kingdom1,800 contributionsInstagrammableWe took the path from Mirissa main street and it was a short 15 minute walk uphill. The place was very busy with tourists and locals, there was even a baby reveal party underway when we arrived. The place is very picturesque and you will certainly get those instagrammable photographs.Visited June 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 28 June 2024

This picturesque location is renowned for its breathtaking views and tranquil atmosphere. The hillside is adorned with lush coconut palms that create a stunning contrast against the vibrant blue of the Indian Ocean. The gentle incline offers a leisurely stroll with panoramic vistas that are perfect for relaxation and photography. It’s an excellent spot for guests seeking a serene retreat or a memorable backdrop for their travel photos. The charm of Coconut Tree Hills lies in its natural simplicity and the unspoiled beauty that captures the essence of Sri Lanka’s coastal allure.Visited August 2024Travelled on businessWritten 18 August 2024

It's a hill with Coconut trees. That's it. We went up early in the morning and it was picturesque with the rising sun, but it was already crowded with narcissists taking selfies. Garbage was strewn along the trail with debris and plastic bottles everywhere.

Be ready to face a crowd of people taking dozens of selfies each and staring and their phones afterwards. The access is not the best but you can also go down by the hill side opposite to the sea when leaving the area. The bar down the hill is very expensive compared to other local bars. Another place getting destroyed by instagram and social midia with their pseudo-influencers

We’ve been here on a cloudy day and it still was visited by tourists a lot. Nevertheless the location is really special and beautiful. And after waiting a bit we could get our pictures without others on it, too.
Actually it was rather funny to watch all the IG-Girls posing and making their boyfriends take the hundredths picture ;)

GriÄŤ is located in a very beautiful location surrounded by the sea. It is accessible from several sides with the sea a little more difficult from the main street, but there is no problem. We visited it one hour before sunset and saw a beautiful sunset there. You should know that there are many people there before sunset, so the earlier you arrive, the better position for taking pictures awaits you. On the hill you have a nice view of all the beaches of Mirissa.

When we visited Coconut HIL, the gates were shut so there was a fair number of people squeezing up the side path. We found there was a fair few unsavoury characters but that may have been as it was a public holiday. A few teens, spitting and trying to be a bit intimidating. Besides that the look out spot is lovely but very dirty, a lot of stray dogs and plastic and rubbish around. A tree ally beautiful spot that is being let down by either the locals or the visitors, really sad.

This is simple but very attractive place. The view here is one of the most beautiful you will ever see in your life. That's why so many peoples come to this place for photoshoots. Here you can experience the sunset view more beautifully. This is a great place to take beautiful photos. The view of the sunset and the see will give you a beautiful memory .

This place is vey famous destination located in down south. A lot of people come to do their shoots, to watch sunset etc. This place is very popular among foreigners. It's little hard to stay there during the day time. The best time to go there is morning and evening.

The view was awesome! Getting to the actual point can be difficult for some. You walk down a dirt road and have to squirm your way past a narrow space between a security fence and some spikey aloe plants.Â
Overall, we got some pretty amazing pics, the background makes pictures seem photoshopped.
