Diu
Nagoa Beach is Diu's finest stretch of sand — a long horseshoe bay lined with hoka palms (unique to Diu) where the water stays exceptionally calm for swimming. Water sports including kayaking, snorkelling, and camel rides are all available here in a setting that's blissfully uncrowded compared to Goa.
Hoka palms are endemic to Diu and protected by law — don't climb them or collect their distinctive fan-shaped leaves.
