This is one for your cameras. So if you are a photo-nutter and there’s a DSLR tucked somewhere in
your backpack, take it out now and head for the St. Jacinto island, located on the road from the
airport to Panaji.
Surrounded by coral and accessible only by a single bridge, this island is one of the most beautiful
haunts the state can offer. Sheer lack of construction or ‘development’ or large buildings on this
island, makes it appear to stately in a very rustic way. Come sunset you can click away with your
cameras as the sun sets over the Arabian sea and flocks of birds head home. The island is home to a
church which overlooks the waters, and adds more character to the already resplendent vista. The
island also has a lighthouse from where the view of the Arabian sea and the bay in which the island
is located is breath-taking. And if you are looking for refreshment or an early dinner, Sheela bar and
restaurant located on the highway just opposite the bridge, sells some of the best sea food on the
other side of the Zuari river.
