Quick Facts
About Devka Beach
Devka Beach is the most frequented beach in Nani Daman, popular among both locals and tourists from Gujarat and Maharashtra. The beach stretches nearly 2 kilometres along the western coast of Daman, facing the Arabian Sea.
The beach received a major infrastructure upgrade with a newly built concrete promenade, decorative lighting, benches, and food shacks, making it an ideal spot for evening walks and family outings.
Unlike the quieter Jampore Beach (5 km south), Devka Beach has a more vibrant, active atmosphere — especially on weekends and public holidays when it draws crowds from Vapi, Surat, and surrounding areas.
