When the sea beckons, hardly one can resist.
Walking down the famed coastlines of Goa with the azure blue Arabian
Sea by the side, is a rare holiday experience. Goa offers unlimited
fun and excitements. It is one of the most popular tourist sites
in India. This magical landscape is home to some of the world famous
beaches. Goa’s beauty is not only restricted to sun, sea and
sand. The lush green valleys, sprawling hills, meandering rivers,
quaint little hamlets and the ruins of Goa’s Portuguese ancestors,
including those exotic gothic churches tend to exude equal charm.
The most prized possession of Goa is its long
string of beaches. It is the befitting beauty of these beaches and
the lush green valleys around that had once lured the Christian
Missionaries. Today this erstwhile Portuguese colony- Goa, reflects
a rich blend of Indian and Western style in its every form. Whether
it’s the European style central squares or the Indian bazaars,
Portuguese churches or the Hindu temples, the palm-fringed beaches
or charming hamlets, Goa’s magic is everywhere. Another delightful
feature of the land is its folk culture, which is a rich blend of
vigorous konkani folk songs and remnants of Portuguese dance and
music.
Among the major beach destinations in Goa, the
Calangute Beach is one of the most popular holiday sites in Goa.
The beach deals best when it comes to action and activity. Small
houses amidst the coconut groves behind the beach are the most sought
after places that are in constant demand. Some other much visit
beach sites, include the Baga Beach, the Dona Paula Beach, the Colva
beach, benaulim, Vagator, Chapora, and Anjuna beach.
