Rediscovering the Portugal Dynasty at Daman - Part 4

Part 3: Rediscovering Portugal Dynasty At Daman-Part 3

Jampore Beach: After covering the Fort area in Moti Daman we headed to Jampore Beach. This is almost 6kms from main city. Driving through narrow roads leads you to the Beach. We were surprised by the number of vehicles parked here, while we hardly got to see any person out near the Fort area. Green Palms and casurina fronds makes a beautiful sight.. Food stalls are put up on the shore, a narrow opening between the stalls leads you to the beach... You can enjoy pony ride, camel ride and even paragliding here.

Devka Beach: 3km drive from Nani Daman leads you to Devka Beach. Just like Jampore Beach this too has hotels and souvenir stalls. Main attraction here is the popular amusement park, which has various gaming instruments and musical fountain. We couldn't spend much time here and headed back to Nani Daman. 

Had lunch at Gurukrupa, one of the best restaurants if you are looking out for veggie food. Then drove through the Jetty area. This drive covers you the view of Fort and Light House at Moti Daman and a visit to Nani Daman Fort. 

This Fort in Nani Daman in popularly known as St. Jemore Fort. The Fort enterance as a Gigantic statue of St. Jemore, flanked by two colossal human sculpture on either sides.

St. Jemore was one of the most eminent and deeply revered priest of the Catholic Church of Daman. Inside the Fort is the church dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea.

The other attraction in the Fort is the Jain Temple that bears 18th century murals depicting the life of Mahavir Swami, the 24th Theerthankara of Jainism on its interior walls.
