Geography & terrain

Nagoa Beach lies in the Diu district of the Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, 3 km from Diu town and 190 km from Veraval — the palm beach of the region, its watersports, the shacks and the curved sand set on the island's south coast.

History & culture

The beach's story runs with the Portuguese-era Diu — the leisure shore of the island's tourist life and the cleanest-beach awards of the Indian coasts, with the beach's modern role as the watersports stop of the Diu circuit and the home of the banana rides and the jet-skis; the beach's history of the fishing community and the island's fort life, gives Nagoa its palm-beach character.
