Miramar Beach offers lovely views of the sea ahead as well as of Fort Aguada which is one of the most popular forts in Goa which lies across the river from the beach. This beach is very easily accessible by the tourists as well as the locals if they wish to visit here.

Earlier, this beach was named Porta de Gaspar Dias by the Portuguese but today it is called Miramar beach. It is a small beach that occasionally hosts some events.
