Diu, a salmagundi of sea, sky, sun and sand and a well composed medley of beauty, breeze and serenity, is a sublime spectrum yet to be utterly traversed and truly discovered. Fondled all the time by the Arabian Sea, Diu is a small dandy island positioned close to the Gulf of Cambay and the Veraval Port off the south eastern coast of Kathiawar of Gujarat. Flourishing as a Portuguese Colony in olden days and now a division of the Union territory of Daman & Diu, the Diu Island is sliced by a tidal creek from the mainland Gujarat. The multicolored band of local Kathiawari ethnicity and the archaic Portuguese culture endows Diu with an Indo-European spirit pretty similar to Goa. Even though, Diu is primarily untouched by the uncontrolled modern-day commercialization.

The gentle, peaceful and flawless beaches of Diu rested against the utopian scrim of the stony inlets and limestone crags are packed with saltpans and swamplands towards their northern facade. Basking in the glory of its enthralling setting and comforting ambiance, Diu Island presents the wonderful montage for sun bathing as well as swimming. A mainland enclave of Ghoghla linked with a town of the state of Gujarat named Una leads to the Diu Island. Chassi is the chief river flowing on the terra firma of Diu. The plenteous sunlit beaches of Diu bejeweled with the stunning splendor of coaxing twilight and the setting sun summons thousands of travelers every year. Roughly 5000 domestic as well as foreign tourists visit this blissful land of immaculate natural beauty and transcendental composure every single month.

Three most loved beaches of Diu, Ghoghla Beach, Nagoa Beach, and Chakrateerth Beach enhance the glamour of this ‘Promised Land’. Acclaimed for its rich birdlife Diu is also a stopover for the numerous migratory birds mainly visiting this plateau during the months of August and September. Diu is indeed a Paradise regained and an angelic boon gifted to the human kind by the almighty universe. Diu is a place where the load of this agitated world can be relieved for a while and the symphony of the awakened soul can be conceived. Daman & Diu Tourism Board has been recently undertaking a range of programs to promote tourism in Diu. These programs range from the safeguarding and maintaining of the historical monuments to the development of infrastructure and amenities.
