Dona Paula Beach Resort

Dona Paula beach is one of the best beach destinations for water sports. A myth is linked with the name of this destination. Dona Paula de Menezes was the daughter of a viceroy in colonial India. She committed suicide here, when her father refused her demand of marrying Gaspar Dias, a local fisherman. The myth says that she was buried in the Raj Bhawan and even today her soul walks out of the grave in the moonlight wearing only a pearl necklace.

The nearby Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is also a great attraction for spotting migratory and local birds.
