About The Beach:

Lying against the estuary of the river Mandovi,it is just 3 km from Panaji and 1 km away from Dona Paula. It is a lovely golden beach of soft sand, occupied by a thick grove of shady palms, facing the blue Arabian Sea and forming a dense canopy over the area. As the word 'Miramar' in Portuguese, means, the viewing of the sea, so one can have a panoramic view of the sea. Miramar beach is very close to Panaji. In fact, Miramar is almost part of Panjim (Panaji) – the capital of gorgeous Goa. Miramar Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Goa. If you wish to watch the sunset from Panaji then the best location would be this beach, which is fifteen minutes walk along the riverfront avenue called Dayanand Bandodker Marg. Miramar beach is an urban beach where the Mandovi River meets the Arabian Sea.It is not a safe beach to swim because of the strong undercurrent.
The most captivating, view is created ,when this 2 km long coast of fine , soft & silvery sand bed sparkles in the moonlight. It provides the much-desired solitude & isolation, for those who want a few moments of life away from the crazy crowd of the city, as it is not too much crowded. Its good location, peaceful & quiet atmosphere makes it an ideal place for walks. Initially, Miramar Beach was known as the Gasper Dias Beach.
