Sunset Point

Diu


Sunset Point is a small, scenic headland at the southern end of the namesake beach, topped by the INS Khukhri Memorial – a model of the Indian Navy frigate sunk off Diu during the 1971 India–Pakistan War. Unfortunately, the region around the point is also a dumping ground, and any early-morning excursion will reveal that the tidal zone here is a popular toilet venue.
