What Miramar offers
Miramar is a broad urban beach on the Panaji waterfront — a logical scenic stop between the city centre and Dona Paula. It suits a longer shore walk rather than a jetty viewpoint.
Getting from Dona Paula
A taxi or auto-rickshaw is the simplest link; walking or cycling is possible for confident travellers outside peak heat. See the route guide for details.
Combining the two
Many visitors do Miramar first for a beach stretch, then continue to Dona Paula for the viewpoint and sunset. A half-day coastal itinerary suggests a workable order.
Miramar and Dona Paula are different places. Plan transport between them rather than assuming they are the same site.
