Miramar Beach |
|
|
Merely three kilometers away from Panjim, the capital city of Goa, and one kilometer from Dona Paula beach, Miramar beach offers to its visitors some great opportunities to relax and enjoy the sea. The two kilometers long stretch of golden sand witnesses also the meeting of the Mandovi river with the Arabian Sea. Also known as “Gasper Dias”, the name Miramar means viewing the sea in Portuguese. While the undercurrent of the sea is very strong and makes the beach unsuitable for swimming, Miramar beach is best known for evening walks along the golden stretch. Highly commercialized, the beach offers to its tourists a great range of restaurants, hotels, shacks and beach resorts, among others.
