Goa
Long ago a messenger from the Christian world landed
up on a nice little coastal land by the side of the mighty Arabian
Sea. So appealing is the beauty it has that the messenger decided
never to return and spend his entire life preaching lessons of The
Christ in this soothing land. Today this incredible land ‘Goa’
is ranked amongst the few foremost beach destinations of the world.
A paradise on Earth that exhibits vast tourist potentialities, be
it the sprawling hills, meandering rivers, lush green valleys, magnificent
churches and temples, festivals or the miles and miles of immaculate
beaches.
Often referred as the ‘Pearl of the East’, Goa combines
the distinctive characteristics of its Portuguese ancestors with
the rich Indian tradition. Sun, sand, food, wine, old gothic churches
and azure blue sea is what is Goa known for. It presents some of
the most sought-after beaches in the World. Relaxed on the soft
silvery sands of these tranquil beaches dotted with swaying coconut
palms, and quaint little hamlets amidst a tropical paradise.
Calangute Beach is one of the most popular holiday destinations
in Goa, also Known as ‘the Queen of Beaches’ in tourists’
books. 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. A little farther
to the north, lies the Baga, which is equally charming and more
relaxed place to stay. Dona Paula Beach is another idyllic place
to relax and sunbathe. Running along a long stretch of white sand,
fringed with coconut palms besides a warm and calm sea, the Colva
beach, is nothing short of a paradise. Some of the other beaches
worth visiting in Goa include the smooth and calm benaulim, Vagator,
Chapora, and Anjuna beach.
