Cast upon the waters

 

 

Where the captivating combination of the clear blue waters and pristine silvery sands of the Dona Paula beach conjures the predictable romantic feelings, it also induces up an aura of mystery and myth. The beach is named after Dona Paula de Menezes, the Viceroy’s daughter, who was in love with a local fisherman. And because of her parents’ objection to the relationship, jumped off the cliff at a point on the site. Legend has it, that her irrepressible spirit is often seen emerging out of the moonlit waves, wearing a pearl necklace…The lovers’ paradise, literally!
