Geography & terrain

Ghoghla Beach lies on the northern coast of the Diu island in the Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu territory, 8 km from Diu town — the long quiet beach of the island, its camping grounds and the sea's wide water set below the light tower.

History & culture

The beach's story runs with the island's fishing and the port history of the old Diu enclave; its modern role is the island's camp-ground — the beach-side camping and the water-sports of the recent era giving Ghoghla its family-beach character within the Diu circuit.
