About Bat Island
Bat Island, also known as Ilha dos Morcegos, is a small coastal island located within Mormugao Harbour in South Goa. The island derives its name from the bat population that inhabits it. Situated near the Mormugao Port, it is primarily recognized as a geographical feature and navigational landmark rather than a developed tourist destination. Access is restricted due to port security regulations and lack of public tourism infrastructure.
