Daman

Daman earlier called 'Damao', is situated on the west coast of India, bordered by the Arabian Sea.

The clean and picturesque beached of Daman are very inviting to all the tourists especially the ever tensed and tired urbanites.
The amusement park on the Devka beach and Nani Daman rejuvenates and recreates the tourists. The illumination on festive days is a treat to the eyes.
