Miramar is a place in Panaji city in the state of Goa, India. It is the nearest beach to the Goan capital and unarguably the most visited beach of Goa. Hordes of people, mostly tourists, are found every day flocking to this beach. Originally named Gasper-de-dias because of the Portuguese influence, the name was then changed to the ever-popular Miramar. Situated on the Mandovi River, it is a small beach that hosts some events occasionally. There are several educational institutions in the surrounding vicinity, including Dhempe College of Arts and Science, Padmashree Vasantrao Dempo Higher Secondary School of Arts and Science, Sharada Mandir High School, etc. Gasper-de-dias club and a popular café lies just opposite it.
