"Coconut Tree Hill in Mirissa is a scenic spot that has become increasingly popular among travelers for its stunning views and Instagram-worthy scenery. Perched on a hilltop, the area is dotted with tall, swaying coconut trees that perfectly frame the horizon, offering a picture-perfect view of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding coastline.
Though it’s not a traditional beach or historical site, **Coconut Tree Hill** has earned its place as one of the top photo spots in Sri Lanka. Visitors often come here to watch the sunset or simply to take in the breathtaking landscape. The hill is easily accessible, with a short walk to the top from the main road, where the towering coconut trees and panoramic views await.
The site was originally a small fishing village area, but in recent years it has become a popular stop for those exploring Mirissa. It's an excellent spot to relax, take in the natural beauty, and capture some incredible photographs.
**Pro tip:** Early mornings or late afternoons are the best times to visit, as the lighting is perfect for photos and the temperature is more comfortable. Be mindful of the local environment and avoid disturbing the coconut trees."

"I truly recommend visiting Coconut Tree Hill, located in Mirissa (popular place for surf) during the sunset, you'll see many people coming and sitting here to witness the sun going down. The place is beautiful.
For reaching to it, you'll need to walk a bit through an easy path, but better if you wear proper shoes instead of flip-flops.
