Beach Story
National Oceanography Institute
| | Beach Story | | It is named after Dona Paula de Menzes, daughter of a viceroy (in colonial India), who threw herself off the cliff, when refused permission to marry a local fisherman, Gaspar Dias. With the romance and myth attached to it—haunted by Dona Paula de Menzes—tourists throng the Dona Paula Beach. The myth says that Dona Paula is entombed in the Cabo Chapel of the Raj Bhawan and is supposed to be seen emerging from the moonlit waves wearing only a pearl necklace. | | | National Oceanography Institute | | The National Oceanography Institute delves not only upon marine biology, but incorporates almost all the major branches of coastal and marine oceanography. It was set up in the 1960s, and the major attraction of the institute is its Marine Biology Museum and Taxonomy Reference Center. | |
