Features : Daman is an erstwhile Portuguese colony and now an industrial township. Daman sports a long beachfront with a lot of hotels reminiscent of North Goa. Daman is a popular weekend getaway ex-Mumbai and Surat. Sightseeing spots around here comprise an old church, a harbour, a couple of waterparks (for kids) and more secluded Old Daman (Jhampore) beach.  

Silvassa is a another industrial township 35 kms (away from the beach) from Daman, part of the Dadra and Nagar Haveli Union Territory.
