See the lighthouse
The best thing about exploring the lighthouse area in Daman is how you can sit on the ramparts built around it and overlook the sea, the fishermen’s market below, and the boats sailing far out. Sit here and relax for a while - early morning and close to sunset are the best times to go here.
Chill at the beach
Jampore and Devka are the two beaches you should consider parking yourself at in Daman. This is where you will be served not just some great seafood but also whole range of alcohol. And both the alcohol and the food are reasonably priced so you try out different dishes without burning a hole in your pocket.
