good morning beautiful people today we are in the area of Mirissa and we will be exploring
around this beautiful Village here and we're starting with Mirissa Beach
so we started today off with a fantastic iced coffee at a pretty local place here uh
it's called aloha aloha coffee now it is kind of typically geared towards tourists it's
kind of like you know that hipster place that everybody goes to and works from their laptop
kind of like a Starbucks situation and the coffee there was a little bit more pricey
than a lot of the other places that are around Mirissa but the coffee is really good really
strong and they definitely woke us up this morning as well down here in the south of
Sri Lanka it's pretty hot it's actually it feels like it's hotter than a lot of the rest
of the country where we've been and even though we are sitting here on the coastline it's
nice and Breezy but it is still incredibly hot now the room that we're staying in has
a large fan no AC which is perfectly fine the large fan works absolutely perfectly for
us and this location here in Mirissa could not be any more pristine and beautiful the
southern part of Sri Lanka definitely has a lot to check out you have some of the most
beautiful untouched beaches in all of the island paradise and right here in Mirissa
it's very very popular for things like whale watching it's also a hot surfing spot as well
and you do see a lot of people out and about surfing like Naomi is right now she's well
she's not surfing but she's in the water and the water is pretty rough at the moment believe
it or not we heard yesterday that there was an earthquake just off the west of Indonesia
and that kind of scared us a little bit I'm not gonna lie but there luckily was no threat
of a tsunami so thank God for that but yeah we're here here at Mirissa Beach and Mirissa
beach is kind of the biggest and Main Beach stretch here in Mirissa there's also another
place called secret Beach that we actually went and checked out yesterday and we're going
to show you guys that beach as well in this video because well it is really spectacularly
beautiful so guys let's start the day let's explore around Mirissa South Sri Lanka let's
go we're so happy to be here and we cannot wait to see more and I suppose I'll give you
guys a little bit of a look at what the current situation is we found like a little bit of
a Shady spot here and the water itself today is actually coming up pretty far onto the
the shore so that's what I meant when I said that the water is pretty rough the waves are
pretty large as well Naomi is just off here in the distance and she's kind of jumping
in under all the waves but um this place is absolutely gorgeous and the beach does stretch
a pretty like significant amount I'm not too sure how long the beach actually is if you
guys do know let us know down in the comments but it's a very beautiful beach very laid
back atmosphere exactly this is exactly what me and Naomi needed after a good few weeks
we've been in Sri Lanka now for around three weeks and we've been sort of aggressively
traveling trying to get through the island as fast as we can to see and make as much
videos as we can but it's nice now to come to a coastal destination such as Mirissa and
have a more laid back experience for a few days and then after here who knows where we're
gonna go we got our visas extended so we're both insanely happy about that we could not
be any more grateful we have another two and like pretty much two and a half full months
more to explore Sri Lanka and there's so many more videos coming your way I just stepped
foot into the Indian Ocean for the very very first time and this beach as you might be
able to see today there's a little bit of rough waves going and you can even rent some
surfboards everywhere here along the big Mirissa Beach and you can do surfing here apparently
it is suitable for I believe intermediate and advanced levels from what I saw and yeah
I just went swimming there and the waves are actually quite high but once you get behind
that big wave wall or wall of waves over there that you can maybe see right now once you
get behind it it's really really nice to swim and the weather is just beautiful it's so
so warm it's a little bit cloudy today but still sunny so it is beautiful it's a beautiful
day to explore some beaches around Mirissa and probably later get some nice seafood or
something like that I cannot wait our next stop here in Mirissa is a cute little restaurant
and it's called K40 we have been here yesterday already and we tried it out yesterday and
we actually thought it was so good that we would like to feature it in today's video
as well to introduce k-40 to you guys and yeah let's just say hello Hi how are you how
are you this is the you are the owner of K40 yeah nice so this is the owner and today I
think we're gonna try something maybe like a smoothie bowl or something like that yeah
okay cool let's try some smoothie bowls come on and check this out okay they even have
this cute little swing that you can probably take very nice pictures on and then the restaurant
is sort of in their front garden directly at the main road and it's super super beautiful
we had dinner here yesterday kind of like a candlelight dinner with light music in the
back it was very romantic and we actually enjoyed it a lot so we were saying today we
have to come back and show you guys this restaurant
how beautiful is this Garden so cute we just ordered two smoothie bowls and two coconut
coffees as well you haven't had coconut coffee since we arrived in Sri Lanka um so that's
going to be very very interesting we are growing increasingly more and more fond of coconut
because coconut is used in so many dishes and different types of ingredients is used
here in Sri Lanka and coconut is heavily featured in those but uh yeah guys this place it's
really beautiful and it seems to be like a relatively new situation so hopefully this
little addition here in our video will drive some people here to enjoy some fantastic food
this place has some pretty special stuff and the people here are super super friendly as
well our smoothie bowls just came out and I never had a smoothie bowl in my entire life so this will be a first for me and
I went with the pineapple and mango smoothie bowl and as you can see there's some nice
granola on top some papaya banana pineapple and this beautiful hibiscus flowers it looks
really really tasty I went for the option that is banana with oats and the presentation
is absolutely stunning and it's totally an Instagram worthy smoothie bowl and I suppose
that's the whole kind of point of smoothie bowls when you come to a place like this like
Mirissa like the south of Sri Lanka a lot of people are coming here with the intention
of getting the best gram photos and this looks absolutely gorgeous let's jump right in and
try it out have a nice little Golden Spoon here this looks so so good
that's really really tasty you've got oats banana I think a little bit of papaya or mango
as well you also have like this like crunchy crunchy granola on top a nice star fruit as
well someone's screaming behind me they think they're selling something yeah we're kind
of waiting for the car to drive by I'm not too sure if that's like if they're selling
something or if it's maybe a political thing or something like that but they're currently
driving past so maybe I'm gonna try my smoothie Bowl when they are passed
looks amazing smells very coconutty well look it's a little shovel
sthuti thank you it's like a little shovel spoon it's so cute I think the people with
the announcements just walked or drove past so maybe I can I gotta try my and enjoy my
smoothie Bowl now so I got the papaya and mango smoothie bowl and there's some nice
crunchy granola on top as well with some papaya oats and strawberry syrup from what I can
see
oh yeah this is beautiful wow the granola is so nice it's I think it's a honey
type of granola yeah yeah yeah tastes like like a honey crunch type of granola it's so
good it's nice and dense honey is my favorite ingredient of all times as you might know
by now if you watch some of our videos so this smoothie Bowl absolutely hits the spot
it is so so beautiful my first time eating a smoothie Bowl I think a fly just nearly
flew into my face but it is my first time enjoying a smoothie bowl and it's perfect
this coconut coffee looks very interesting we asked them do you guys have coffee and
they said yeah we have coconut coffee so this is actually also our very first time trying
a coconut coffee maybe it's just coconut milk and coffee as well that's actually a very
popular combination in in Europe in Starbucks that's what I was kind of thinking maybe it's
just sort of a coffee with coconut milk but it looks like there's a little bit of sort
of maybe coconut oil on top or something like that so I'm not 100 sure if it's just coconut
milk kind of like a bulletproof coffee like a bullet yeah that's what it looks like I
don't know if you can can you see it there's a little bit of oil on top maybe you can see
it on the camera maybe not if not you just have to trust our words
it's very hot oh that's so nice tasty is beautiful wow it's perfect I didn't expect this
at all um but I don't still not 100 sure if it's just coconut milk or some oil you have
to say gonna give it a go guys careful it's very hot very hot which is not a bad thing
by the way for coffee some people really do like their coffee hot
oh yes that is absolutely delicious nice hit of caffeine and it definitely tastes coconutty
as well wow this is a perfect thing to do guys we just spent like an hour or two just
hanging out at Mirissa Beach and then we came here to K40 and had an amazing experience
this place 10 out of 10 if you are visiting Mirissa you need somewhere to stop off and
try some nice food at a very reasonable price especially for this area smoothie bowls coconut
coffee yesterday we had a fish as well with some garlic rice that was absolutely delicious
as well check this place out the owners are absolutely very very warm-hearted very welcoming
he's so cute he's a fantastic guy how long have you how long is this place open for two
months two months okay so it's new new place
we are always full of questions we like finding out about the local businesses
yeah I don't know we always ask so many questions
but they're open basically now for two months so it is a new business and um definitely
check it out if you do get the time and if you're coming here to Mirissa thumbs up as
always we're going to leave name and address of the places that we visit in the description
below so just check it out there and if you want to come here make sure to come when you're
in Mirissa I know the sentence didn't make any sense but yeah guys let's let's support
the locals support the local Sri Lankan people as we keep saying in every video they need
tourists they need tourism here in this island and the best way that you can help these people
out and help the current situation is to come here spend some money and enjoy your time
now just a quick 10 to 15 minutes walk from the city center of Mirissa or the Village
Center or the Town Center or whatever do you think whatever the center is called now just
a quick 10 to 15 minute walk from the center of Mirissa you will find This Magnificent
place here this place is called the secret Beach and not so secret if you ask me if you
can find it on Google Maps but yeah this place is really really beautiful as you can maybe
hear in the back um over there sort of is a beach club where you can eat and get some
drinks and so on as well they even have music and then here on this side it is a little
bit quieter and the ocean over here on this side seems to be less rough as well and it
looks like you can swim a little bit better because obviously on that larger beach that
we've showed you earlier the Mirissa Main Beach it kind of seems to be more of a surfer
Beach and this year kind of seems to be more of a relaxed Vibe where you can go snorkeling
or something like this I think and we didn't go in the water yet here in this area but
obviously we're gonna try it out and let you guys know how the water is Luke and I just
went out for a little bit of snorkeling and the diversity of fish underwater here directly
at the shore literally like you go in five meters and you will find the most amazing
fish we saw some rainbow fish I even saw a fire fish some parrot fish and so on wow oh
my God the fish diversity here is just crazy if you're into snorkeling or diving this for
sure is the place to come for you I think the south of Sri Lanka has to be up
there with one of our most favorite parts that we've discovered so far since we started
traveling in Sri Lanka Mirissa is really Paradise that secret Beach is something else snorkeling
the atmosphere there's a little bit of music going on people are just lying down reading
a book drinking some coconuts 10 out of 10 this experience is unbelievable and you even
get some sand in your shoe to go along with it as well
hello Lexi this is our home stay dog so cute so cute so guys we made it back to our
accommodation Sanda hiru guest and hostel and it is the perfect place we are literally
only a couple of hundred meters away from the beach and the beach that we are close
to is actually more of like a fisherman's Beach so if that's something that you're into
checking out definitely check this accommodation out when you come and stay in Mirissa which
you absolutely should do Mirissa is a miraculous place it's so beautiful absolutely stunning
and I would highly recommend it to you guys and here at this accommodation you get a lot
of value for your money as well so there's Breakfast included for the people who are
a little bit sensitive when it comes to heat there's no AC there's only a fan but it's
fine for us so we we actually like it this way so you get a lot of value for your money
not money for money for your value here at this accommodation and we just love the hosts
as well actually tonight we're going to have a big leaving party let's say and we're going
to eat a big tuna fish that the host caught today so we cannot wait to try this food
absolutely for guys that's it from us for today we are absolutely very exhausted it's
been a long few hours at the beach walking around trying out some beautiful food as well
