Places to See
Explore the Fort's Must-See Spots! Near the main entrance, find a hidden Lord Hanuman temple nestled between two bastions. The doorway features porches and a carved stone Lotus flower inside. Opposite this is a raised platform with a doorway leading seaward. Look right for house remnants, and left for a Tulsi Vrindavan tomb structure. You can circumnavigate the small fort in about 15 minutes via the fortified wall platform. Note the ruined wall section on the sea-facing side, which still has an intact seaside doorway.
