Goa's boundary is an unbroken line of blue, an azure strip of ocean. The coastline
of  Goa
is a tropical idyll of soft white sands and gentle sea breeze, where the passing
of a day is marked by the slow arc of the sun. The pace of life on the coast
is notably slower, languid, more relaxed and at peace with the world. The turquoise
waters of the ocean brings a kaleidoscope of colour to Goa's exotic lifestyle.
Anjuna Beach : The beauty of the white waves rushing to embrace the
golden sand on the beach can be witnessed in full form at the Goa Anjuna
beach. Goa Anjuna beach comes to life with the flea market and the full-moon
beach parties that continue through out the night. 18 km north of Panaji,
Anjuna beach is the most popular hotspots of Goa and India tourism.
Baga Beach : Baga Beach is part of a 30-km stretch of beach coastline
along the west coast of Goa by the Arabian Sea, 10-km west of Mapusa, is
basically an extension of Calangute beach. Lying in the rocky, wooded
headland, the only difference between this far northern end of the Baga
beach and its more congested center of Calangute Beach is that the scenery
of this beach site is more varied, unspoiled and scenic.

 Benaulim
Beach : Derived from Sanskrit word "Banali" and later corrupted
by the Portuguese to Benaulim, the beautiful beach lies in the center of
Colva Beach, 7-km west of Margao. Only a decade ago, this fishing and
rice-farming village, scattered around the coconut groves and paddy fields
had barely made it onto the backpackers map. This beach remains a peaceful
and welcoming place to unwind.
Calangute Beach : Calangute beach is one of the Goa's busiest and
most commercialized beaches. This peaceful fishing village was a favourite
hideout of the hippies in the 70's and 80's. Today, Calangute beach
symbolize Goa's reputation as a haven for beach and coastal splendour. The
beach itself is nothing special, with steeply shelving sand, but is more
than large enough to accommodate the huge numbers of high-season visitors.
Colva Beach : The Colva Beach is broad and beautiful, and has a
stream coursing through it. Colva is the oldest and largest of South Goa's
resorts. Its leafy outlying 'Vaddos', or wards are pleasant enough, dotted
with colonial style villas and ramshackle fishing huts. The beach front is a
collection of concrete hotels, souvenir stalls and fly blown snack bars
strewn around a central roundabout.
Dona Paula Beach : 7-km from Panjim, nestled on the south side of the
rocky, hammer-shaped headland that divides the Zuari and Mandovi estuaries,
Dona Paula Beach is an idyllic spot to relax and sunbathe. Water scootering
facilities are also available over here. Named after Dona Paula de Menezes,
this place is called the Lovers Paradise due to a myth that has been attached
to this place. According one legend the Viceroy's daughter after facing objections
from her family about her love affair with a poor fisherman, jumped off the
cliff. |
