Miramar Beach in Goa

The word 'Miramar' in Portuguese stands for viewing the sea. It is on the way to Dona Paula, 1-km ahead of the confluence of the Arabian Sea and Mondovi River. Under the palm shade, Miramar Beach is just 3-km away from the capital city of Panjim in the North Goa. This Goa beach is popularly known as "Gasper Dias".

On account of its good location, the Miramar Beach of Goa is ideal for evening walks. The coast covers an expanse of 2-km, having a fine silvery sand bed. From here one has a panoramic view of the Aguada fort just across the Mondovi River. The best time to visit the Miramar Beach is from November to March. The migratory birds, like Plovers and Gulls return to Miramar beach each winter, as it gives them a brief respite from the harsh winter back home. Here they find food in plenty in the form of aquatic invertebrates, seeds and insects.
