Stunning views of the ocean & 360 views of Mirissa beach! 😍 We heard it’s quite popular at sunrise/sunset so we went around midday and had the whole rock to ourselves for a good 30mins! Be warned though, to get to the rock, you have wade through the ocean for just a bit. I’m 5"9.5 in height and the water came up to my waist and just above it at times, so we had to hold our bags & sandals/shoes over our head while wading through to avoid them getting wet - so wear a swimsuit /light clothes that will dry very easily in the sunshine. You then have to climb up a steep, slightly rickety incline which has a few steps with a sharp drop on both sides and a makeshift bridge made out of bamboo, so tread slowly & carefully! Other than that, it was an awesome experience, that I’d definitely recommend.

Parrot Rock is a stunning little viewpoint near Mirissa Beach, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding coastline. It’s a short and easy climb, making it accessible to most visitors. The best time to visit is during sunrise or sunset when the lighting adds a magical touch to the scenery. During low tide, it’s easy to walk across to the rock, but be cautious as the path can get slippery. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for taking photos or simply soaking in the beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coast. A must-visit if you’re in the Mirissa area!
