India Goa Beach Tour

The state of Goa in India, was a Portuguese colony until 1962, and is famous for its Indo-Portuguese culture and architecture. Goa's beaches reflect its colourful mosaic of history.The combination of the "sosegãdo" or laid back lifestyle, bracing weather and Goa's carnival-like nightlife has been known to lure many into a psychedelic trance. As you vacation in Goa and feel the soft sand beneath your feet, you'll find that there is no place like a warm, inviting beach in Goa to make you feel at peace with the universe. Since we usually stay at my parents' flat at Monte-de-Guirim, near Mapusa, the only time we check into a hotel or resort is when we don't have our own transport and want to spend more time at the beach. If you visit in the right season, you can sample the local "Urak," a lighter and sweeter-smelling distillate of feni.

Beaches in Goa are :

Aguada Beach Goa : With its exotic tropical beauty the pristine Aguada beach attracts tourists all over the world and India just like bees are attracted towards fresh blossoms.

Baga Beach Goa : A small river flows into the sea at the top of the village, below a broad spur of soft white sand, from where a dirt track strikes across an expanse of paddy fields towards Anjuna.

Bogmalo Beach Goa : Bogmalo Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the Beach Capital of India Goa. The swaying coconut palms and the soft sand add to the holiday mood on the shore of the Arabian Sea.

Chapora Beach Goa : Chapora, 10-km from Mapusa, is a lat busier than most north coast villages. Dependent on fishing and boat building, it has, to a great extent, retained a life of its own independent of tourism.

Colva Beach Goa : 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.

Calangute Beach : Calangute is Goa's busiest and most commercialized resort, and the flagship of the state government's bid for a bigger slice of India's package-tourist pie.

Dona Paula Beach : At the place where two of Goa's famous rivers meet the Arabian Sea is the secluded bay of Dona Paula with a fine view of the Marmagao Harbour.

Miramar Beach Goa : Miramar beach is a bustling tourist hub due to its close proximity to the town. Miramar in Portuguese translates to 'viewing the sea,' an apt sobriquet considering the azure waters of the mighty Arabian Sea that expand into the horizon.

Sinquerim Beach Goa : Sinquerim Beach is stunningly beautiful and quieter than the other beaches of Goa. This long, extended sandy terrain that runs incessantly along the coast is ideal for taking a walk.

Anjuna Beach Goa : Goa Anjuna beach is a perfect haven for the hippies and you will come across some of them who have been staying on this beach for a couple of months.

Benaulim Beach Goa : It is one of the most tranquil Goan destinations. The best thing about Benaulim is that it is still rather undiscovered by domestic tourists even though it is a fishing beach.

Candolim Beach Goa : Candolim is the best beach, for those who want to spend some time in solitude and insolence,away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, though one cannot expect too much of facilities there.

Clarion Beach Goa : Clarion The Beach situated in the heart of Goa with an over view of the oceanfront at Salcette, Benaulin set with the best five star amenities, gives the perfect feel of international hospitality and defines a new beauty of holidaying in Goa.

Madgaon Beach Goa : The prime attraction of Madgaon is the Benaulim Beach which lies 7 km west of Margao. People visiting the Madgaon Beach also visit other places of interest in Madgaon such as the Holy Spirit Church founded in 1565 and the distinctive cross in front built a century earlier.

Palolem Beach Goa : The Palolem Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the Beach Capital of India Goa and is often referred to as the ‘Tiny Bay of Goa’.

Vagator Beach Goa : The Vagator beach is part of a 30 km stretch of beach coastline along the west coast of Goa that is home to some of the top-notch Goan beaches such as the Calangute beach and the Anjuna beach.
