Miramar Beach |
Miramar Beach is a lovely golden beach of soft sand framework with palm trees facing the blue Arabian Sea, where River Mandovi meets the Arabian Sea and a thick wood of shady palms form a dense sunshade over the area.

Miramar Beach is the nearest beach from the capital of the Goa, Panaji. The beach is just 3 km from Panaji in the north of the state and a km away from Dona Paula. It lies adjoining the estuary of the river Mandovi as it opens into the Arabian sea.

The importance of these coastal wintering grounds has been commonly recognized all over the world.Three-fourths of Migratory birds slot in the coastline or the coastal plain into their migration routes. The migratory birds, like Plovers and Gulls return to Miramar beach each winter, as it gives them a relief from the harsh winter back home. Here they find food in plenty in the form of aquatic invertebrates, seeds and insects.

From here one can have a panoramic view of the Aguada fort just across the Mandovi River. It also offers a charming view of the well-preserved Portuguese fort across the river, known as Aguada Fort.
Not much crowded, it offers peaceful surroundings and the much-desired privacy for those who want few moments of life away from the crazy crowd of the city.
