Jalandhar beach in DAMAN

JALANDHAR BEACH
The beach named after the Demon Jalandhar is without any doubt one of the most beautiful, and unflustered. The water is calm and clear and without any undercurrents. It is bereft of the usual hustle bustle associated with any sunshine beach. 

A small memorial is located at one of the hills close to the beach containing a stone face of the demon Jalandhar. Legend has it that the head was severed by the Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu. 

A temple dedicated to Goddess Chandrika is also located in the vicinity. The beauty of the beach has been further enhanced by developing the area through beautification and Illumination.
