Dona Paula

The girl was daughter of the Viceroy. She was pretty and luscious with her dark  blue eyes as beautiful as lotus petals. She fell in love with a poor fisherman's son! The boy was dark, strong and muscular with broad chest.

Will any Viceroy give his daughter to a fisherman?

Here also that happened.  Here the Viceroy went a step ahead. He threatened to kill the boy. The lovers decided to die together. They climbed on a huge cliff near the bank, jumped into the sea and died. This happened in Dona Paula years back! The beach is named after the girl. The ocean, it seemed to me, telling the sad story of the girl!

Dona Paula is a fisherman's village. All around the beach a number of stalls are there mostly selling textile items. They are very cheap. You may bargain the prize. But the items of course are of poor quality. Conveniences are there in the beach for various types of water sports.
