Devka Beach
The liveliest beach in northern Daman, with a newly built seafront promenade, night lights and snack stalls that draw weekend visitors.
Devka Beach lies about 4 km north of Nani Daman and is Daman's best-known and most crowded beach. On weekends, it fills with visitors from Gujarat and Mumbai. In recent years, the beach has gained a seafront promenade several kilometres long, gardens, a musical fountain and night lighting. Watching the sunset in the evening and eating snacks are the most popular activities. The sand is dotted with black rocks, and at low tide the water recedes a long way, while the waves are strong at high tide, so swimming is not advisable. Many resort hotels and bars line the coast. Drinking rules in Daman are looser than in Gujarat.
