Miramar Beach in Goa

The ideal playground for the locals and tourists alike

About Miramar Beach in Goa

Only a short walk away from the hubbub of downtown Panaji, the golden sands of Miramar Beach in Goa are the ideal playground for the locals and tourists alike.

Being only three kilometers from Panaji city, the beach is the most crowded beach in Goa. Previously named Porta de Gaspar Dias or Gasper Dias Beach by the Portuguese settlers, now it is popularly called Miramar beach. This beach in Panaji is also a famous spot to celebrate local festivals in Goa. Besides water sports, the beach is also a popular destination for morning and evening walks. While most of the beaches in Goa are tourist-oriented beaches with a host of facilities, Miramar Beach in Goa does not offer such kind of luxury. There are a few but good shacks by the beach, souvenir shops, and restaurants near Miramar beach. If you wish to enjoy a beach day away from the regular crowds in Goa, head to Miramar beach on a fine, sunny day. Make sure to carry along the beach-day essentials such as sunscreen, hats, and towels. 

Towards the north of the beach, you will find the meeting point of Mandovi River and the Arabian Sea. Take a walking tour along the stretch and spot the fishermen doing their job. As the sun sets, the skyline looks gorgeous and appealing. There are a few good five-star bars that offer upscale dining and a casino that offers a host of entertainment. 

The Cabo Raj Bhavan Hillock near Miramar Beach is a hot spot for adventure activities. Visitors to the beach can enjoy a range of water sports here. The National Institute of Water sports provides basic lessons to visitors. After a short training session, visitors can indulge in leisure and adventure activities at the beach.

Swim, lay, and play in the sand! Beach walking, picnicking, parasailing, and swimming are popular things to do at Miramar Beach. Parasailing can be enjoyed by a 300-feet long rope attached to a speedboat and with a balloon at the other end. Travelers can also enjoy a short boat river cruise on the Mandovi River from Miramar Beach. Windsurfing is another one of the popular things to do at Miramar Beach in Goa. To rejuvenate your soul, try Goan cuisine or local street food with coconut water from beach shacks at the beach.

For those looking to enjoy less adventurous activities, shopping at Miramar Beach is a great option. Although souvenirs at the beach stalls are not exclusively exotic, yet there might be some cool stuff available at the local shops like scarfs, hats, jute shoes, and t-shirts. For an authentic shopping experience, travelers can hit the main market in Panaji. Clubbing at Miramar Beach is one of the best things to do in Panaji. There are a few luxury resorts with outdoor party venues and hip bars along the beach where one can party all night long.

Archaeological Museum, Convent of St. Francis of Assi, Goa State Museum, Church of Our Lady, and Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary are popular places to visit near Miramar Beach. The beach is open all day long. There are no specific visiting hours for Miramar Beach in Goa.

What Travelers Say About Our Goa Trips

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    Jai's 4 days trip to Goa

    Worst travel agent. Initially they will agree everything just for the sake of booking. After that they won't agree to it. We initially agreed upon our final day iternary but at the last day they ruined it. If they say ok by word of mouth please get it added in travel plan.

    Pranitrr's 4 days trip to Goa

    ​Dear Anjali and the Bindas Trip Team, ​ ​I am want to share my experience with the recent Goa trip (Trip ID: 12426053) you organized for me. This was a truly genuine and fantastic experience! ​The trip was seamlessly managed and completely memorable. A special shout-out to Anjali, who handled the initial planning, and to Karna, who provided support in her absence. ​She also answered my queries regarding trip. I am happy to report that there were absolutely no hiccups in travel or management throughout the duration of the trip. Everything, including the accommodation and transfers, was executed on schedule. ​I would highly recommend Bindas Trip (with Travel Triangle) to anyone looking for a well-organized and wonderful travel experience. ​-Pranit

    Umesh's 3 days trip to Goa

    As I Visited Goa With my family The hotel provided by Bindas trip was far away for beaches, as I Already confirmed with Agent is this property near to Beach she said Yes, and I need to take Auto to reach the Beach every time. The South Goa CAB person was rude and having a Bad mouth. and also, he did not cover many places mentioned in our itinerary and same follows for 2nd driver for North Goa he also skipped many placed from Itinerary. The Water sport person has almost harassed us ki first call your agent to make payment otherwise we will not take you to sports activity. Even Our agent threatens to be cancelled the further trip if i don't pay them immediate. As I only asked them for few hours for pending payment due to some Bank server issues.

    Akshay's 5 days trip to Goa

    Our Goa trip was very well managed by the trip coordinator (Rocky) and the driver (Tabraiz) who took us for sightseeing was very good. He had a positive attitude and was helpful in time management to cover all points. The only slightly negative part of our trip was the hotel stay. Even though Mayfield Boutique hotel seems good with its location & staff behaviour, the management lacked efficiency in managing/providing resources. Additionally, the boat cruise could have been better, if it was less crowded and better staff service (privacy for couples not there). Overall, we would rate our trip 4/5 based solely on the amazing sightseeing points. Thank you Goa Originals for organizing everything.

    My trip was good. Travel agent is ok. Azara resort by scirocco is veryGood...Goa Cab operator is worst. He want us to follow his schedule. Some other tourist from kolkata and ahmedabad also told me same for thair Cab operator... so i think in Goa bad Cab service is common problem.... traveltriangle team is verygood. Dudhsagar waterfall is must go.
