As you leave the city traffic and dust behind, and breathe in the cool, if salty, breeze of Daman, it becomes obvious that the Portuguese left behind a great influence. Daman or the Gujarati's favourite weekend hangout shows-off lines of palm trees and casuarina groves. Similar to Goa in its beaches, it definitely lacks the bursting flow of tourists. The locals are easy, if a little laid-back, and you can find them often sipping a chilled beer and discussing the stories of Nani Daman and Moti Daman. Having been visited by the Portuguese, Goans and even Africans, Daman seems to carry traces of their cultures. But leave aside your speculations and enter Daman to sit on the breezy beach at sunset with a glass of wine and some prawn masala. There surely are few images as enduring as this...

	 <tr>
 <td align="justify" class="body-text"><img src="http://www.travelguru.com/travelguide/images/daman-what-to-see.jpg" hspace="15" width="220" height="140" class="body-img" alt="Daman" align="right" />
 Devka Beach: This is the most popular beach area, where most of the hotels and food stalls are located. The beach, though sandy, is not safe for swimming because of the rocks underwater. The beach has an amusement centre for children with a couple of rides, pony rides and a variety of food options.

Jampore Beach: This beach is popular as a swimming head-out. The waters are not rocky and the area is full of picnickers and relaxing beach-lovers.

Moti Daman: This is one of the most visited structures in Daman, once home to the homes of the Portuguese. The most recognized structure here is the old Fort, which spots about 10 bastions and 2 gateways. The fort walls are quite mossy and a moat links the fort to the sea. Within the fort is the Iberian Church, Se Cathedral, which is a 17th century church with a gold-painted wooden altar. Depictions from the life and times of Christ adorn the walls. Of equal importance is the newly developed Hilsa Aquarium within the fort, where you can take a submarine boat ride and watch a large number of exotic fishes.

Moti Daman also houses the Governor's Palace, which is worth watching for its highly carved stairway and ornate chandeliers. Daman's churches are also worth watching, the most impressive being the Church of Bom Jesus. Created in Portuguese architecture, it displays heavily ornate doors and ceilings. Similarly striking is the Our Lady of Rosary Church, which has attractive gothic architecture and a huge prayer hall with carved figures. Also catch a round of evening stroll at the Satya Sagar Udyan, which abounds in fountains, well-maintained walkways, a lake and restaurants and cafÃ©s serving regional delicacies. 

<img src="http://www.travelguru.com/travelguide/images/daman-what-to-see-1.jpg" hspace="15" width="220" height="140" class="body-img" alt="Daman" align="right" />
Nani Daman: Another prominent spot in Daman, Nani Daman's most recognized image is the St Jerome Fort or Fort of Nani Daman, as it is better known as. The fort has 3 bastions and 2 gateways, the bigger of which faces the river and has a life-like statue of St. Jerome. Also located within this fort is the Church of Our Lady of the Sea, which showcases a fine panel work. Another beautiful church located within the fort is the Lady of Remedios Church, which has a fine altar. Located close to the church is an old cemetery. Check out the Gandhi Park at Daman Jetty and the old Lighthouse, which is quite popular with children. One of Nani Daman's most enduring images is the Jain Temple, whose walls are decorated with glass murals depictions of Mahavira's life.

Kadaiya Lake Garden: An artificial lake garden, it offers interesting options of boating or strolling especially in the evenings. Within the park are a toy train, options for go-karting and several rides.

Damanganga Tourist Complex: A popular haunt for families and couples, this complex is made of a cafeteria, health club, amphi-theatre, waterfalls, sports, fountains and island gardens.

Best known for these would be the Cidade de Daman's Bay View Restaurant, where you can choose your fish and recommend a cooking style to the chef. Other than seafood, they also cook up decent tandoori fares. Also worth trying would be the Sandy Resort, which offers a choice of Chinese, Mughlai, Punjabi and seafood. The hotel also has its own bar, which conjures up fine cocktails. Located on Devka Beach, Hotel Miramar is known for its South Indian breakfast, which includes a variety of dosas, idlis and vada-sambar. Hotel Jazira overlooks the Devka Beach and creates specialty seafood. It also offers a wide choice of Indian, Continental and Chinese cuisine. Located on Seaface Road, Hotel Sovereign has a multi-cuisine restaurant called Pithora, which serves special seafood and a choice of Indian and Continental cuisines. Located overlooking the beach, Dariya Darshan Hotel has a multi-cuisine restaurant, Feta ni Wadi. Its pomfret fry, tandoori chicken, paneer shahi and prawn butter fry are absolutely delectable.</td>

The usual knick-knacks are of course available - seashell earrings and necklaces, oyster artifacts, woven bamboo mats and baskets, stringy chappals, sarongs and t-shirts. The main shopping areas are Maharaja Super Market at Devka Beach and Nani Daman.</td>

 <td class="body-text" align="justify">Nariyal Purnima is the most important festival for the locals of Daman. Dedicated to the Sea God, offerings of coconuts are made to the sea when the monsoons end and the fishing season begin. During this festival, the fishermen paint their boats in bright colours and offer prayers and coconuts to the god, for a bountiful fishing season.
