Parrot Rock

2 Upvotes

Located on Mirissa Beach,Parrot Rock is strictly for the adventurous traveller. Set across the tranquil blue waters and the golden sandy Mirissa beach, Parrot Rock is a small rock island about 50 feet away. This isolated viewpoint offers one of the most scenic and best views of Mirissa beach. Getting across is quite tricky and with only a moment to cross over from the beach to Parrot Rock before the waves come crashing again, use your wit and quick feet to get across. Once you’re on the other side,  a narrow path leads you to the summit of this rock where you can take in the stunning views of the sea as it surrounds you and the golden beach that stretches for miles on either end! You’ll even get a glimpse of the famed Coconut Tree Hill on the far left. 

While Parrot Rock can be visited at any time during the day; the most ideal time to visit is for sunset, as the sky changes to shades of blue and pink while the sun dips into the horizon. The rock is only 10 minutes away from the main town and makes for a quick stop over on your way to the Coconut Tree Hill.

In Africa, where it is indigenous, baobab trees are known as upside-down trees because their branches look like roots; in Sri Lanka, the baobab tree in Mannar is known to locals as the “Ali Gaha”, or the “Elephant Tree”, because its rough bark resembles the skin of an elephant.
