St Jacinto Island
To enjoy the scenic beauty of South Goa, one of the most exotic locations is Sao Jacinto Island. Located a few kilometers from the Dabolim Airport, it can be seen from as far as the NH-17 Vasco-Panaji highway. A majority of the island is covered with forests and only in the south-western coast can you see old houses among which a beautiful church is located above. The locals call this church the St. Hyacinthi Cathedral and celebrate its feast on the last Sunday of September.
The small island is a lovely green area which is preserved by the locals right from the 20th century when they decided to not give the land out on lease and allow construction companies to build infrastructure for the sake of tourism.
According to the legend, an underground tunnel connects the old chapel with Sridao Beach Resort which is located on the bank of Mormugao Bay. The island is connected with the mainland by the bridge called Silver Gate Bridge. San Jacinto can be reached by a rented boat. Many travel agencies organize various tours and excursions to the island on regular basis.
