Daman-Diu Places to See

Fortress of Panikota:-
is a magnificent stone structure in the sea, built right at the mouth of the creek. It can be reached only by a canoe or a motor launch. Approximately one nautical mile from the Diu jetty, it also has a light house and small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea. The fortress makes for a beautiful view whether seen from the jetty, from the Fort, from the village of Ghoghla or from Diu proper.

St. Paul's Church:-
is dedicated to our Lady of Immaculate Conception. Built during the 17th century, the main facade of the church, perhaps the most elaborate of all Portuguese churches in India, is adorned with curiously treated volutes and shell-like motifs.

Jallandhar Shrine:-
is located on a hillock close to the beach. This small shrine crowned with a dome, contains a niche wherein a stone carved face of the demon Jallandhar is seen. Nearby, is the temple of Goddess Chandrika.

Gangeshwar Temple:-
is situated 3km away from Diu town in Fudam village. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, there are five lingas here that are located in the midst of the rocks on the seashore, and are washed by the waves of the sea. It is believed that these lingas were established here by the five Pandava brothers of the Mahabharata during their exile.

Diu Museum:-
since there was no building in Diu to house the antique status and various stone inscriptions, the old St. Thomas Church was converted into museum. It houses wooden carvings, statues, idols, shadow clocks and other important artifacts collected from various sites.

Nagoa Beach:-
a 20min refreshing drive from the town through the open arid land and dense coconut groves brings you to the Nagoa Beach. It is located in the Nagoa hamlet of the village of Bucharwada. The beach stretching about 2km from one end to the other is exceptionally beautiful and quiet and its horse-shoe shape is unique. It is safe for swimming.

Ghoghla Beach:-
is among the six beautiful beaches in Diu District. It also has facilities for water sports like parasailing, water scooters etc.

Chakratirtha Beach:-
is centrally located and contiguous to the town at Diu. It is said to be the place where Lord Vishnu left his sudarshan chakra (disc) after killing the demon Jallandhar. The hill and the surrounding areas and landscape has been beautifully illuminated.

Gomtimata Beach:-
is one of the best beaches of the region. Secluded and spread with natural white sand, it is located at the western corner of the island.
