Dona Paula Beach

7 kms from Panaji. Dona Paula Beach is nestled on the southern side of the rocky hammer-shaped headlands that divide the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries.

The most important attraction of this beach is the water sport facilities available here. The Dona Paula Sports Club offers water-scooter, cycle, and motorboat rides.

Other water sports include windsurfing, parasailing, water-skiing, toboggan ski-biscuit, skibob, sports fishing, snorkeling, harpoon fishing, kayaking, and yachting.


The proximity of the beach to the capital city makes it a popular tourist sight.

Providing a good view of the Mormugao harbor, the Dona Paula beach is fringed by palm trees and casuarina groves.

The National Oceanography institute delves not only upon marine biology, but incorporates almost all the major branches of coastal and marine oceanography. The major attraction of the institute is its Marine Biology Museum and Taxonomy Reference Center.

The main attractions near Dona Paula Beach are Reis Magos Church and the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary.
