Skip the midday heat and hit these battlements around 4pm for the best light. You get a massive panoramic look at the Arabian Sea and rows of rusted cannons left over from the Portuguese era. Spend 45 minutes walking the perimeter; the stone walkways are uneven, so wear real shoes, not slides. Ignore the guides trying to rush you; just pay the small entry fee and find your own spot on the ramparts to chill.
