The 2023 redevelopment
The Government of Goa’s 25 February 2023 announcement described a coastal-circuit upgrade around Dona Paula Jetty: paving, lighting, railings, kiosk areas and parking support.
Further planning in 2026
Local media reported further redevelopment planning in July 2026. This means the physical site may continue to change; do not treat the 2023 description as a fixed, current facility inventory.
An older redevelopment notice is a historical record, not proof of today’s parking, kiosks, access or operating conditions. Confirm current arrangements on-site.
How to read these changes
Use the timeline for context, then check on-site signage and official updates for what is actually open and accessible on your visit date.
