About Dona Paula Viewpoint
A headland where the Mandovi and Zuari estuaries meet the sea, with a view across to Mormugao harbour. A small jetty and a statue stand at the point, and the Governor's residence sits on the nearby cape. Sunset from here is popular and gets crowded on weekends, so arrive early. Take a boat only from licensed operators and ignore any pushy sellers.
What to see and do
- View of two estuaries meeting the sea
- Jetty and viewpoint at the headland
- Sunset over Mormugao
- Cabo area, home of the Governor
- Short ride from Panaji and Miramar
