Much part of the Fort Aguada seems to be converted to a beach Resort. We were not sure if the lower area facing the sea was accessible as it seemed that entry was through Taj Vivanta. But we were able to see upper area with old light house and huge water tank inside the fortified structure.

The entry to is very pleasing and is one of the best maintained structures.
