If you think that holidaying is about spending some quality time with your loved ones, come to Goa. There’s nothing children like to do better on a holiday, than messing about with their scoop outs and castles on the beach and Goa has over a 100 km of pristine silver coastline for them to do just that, the whole day long. And if you are a party freak, want to jump, skip and dance your nights out, drive down to Goa’s moonlit beaches. Let your hair down to the pulse of rocking rave parties that keep the shifting sands busy throughout the night. And if you think holidaying is about indulging yourself, destressing or simply taking it easy while the days flow over you without a ripple, ask your doctor and he will direct you to Goa. Ayurvedic massages, Swedish messages, jaccuzzis, chill showers, yoga sessions in the garden.. Oh! What a holiday it would make!

In Goa, they say life is a beach. ‘Susegado’ - take it easy - is the amateur credo of this exclusive beach destination. There is an unique aroma of Goa that gives this palm fringed land an extra edge over places of tourist interests in India. The beaches here have been accepted as a matter of life, there are exotic cuisines augmenting the pleasure of sun and sand, and water sports facilities that include from water scooters, scuba diving to para-sailing. Like a cherry on top of ‘Fairy Tale Wedding Cake’, you can shake your legs for some time to the beats of trance with a glass of feni, engage in shopping on the beachside, or enjoy a midnight bonfire on the beach. What else do you need for a bouquet of fun-filled holiday?

Tourist Resting at Goa Beach

Many Waves of Pleasure At Goa Beaches

Portraying a natural beauty on a rustic landscape, and adding waves of colour to the canvas of the eye, the beaches of Goa are nonpareil in themselves. The only problem with a 131 km long shoreline is that there are many options to choose from and each is as alluring as the next. If you like sightseeing, shopping till you drop and living it up till the wee hours, then look for beaches which score high on accessibility, food and drink, infrastructure, activities and nightlife. And what better than Calangute and Dona Paula can give you that? At a mere 45 minute bus ride up to the coast from the city of Panjim, Calangute Beach is a favourite playground of Goa’s visitors. Smell the eternal fragrance of love floating in the air, on the chaste white sands of Dona Paula. Take a leisure walk from the beach amidst the crowded sea-side stalls that sell everything from mouth-watering seafood delicacies to local handicrafts. Get a few packets of aromatic spices and embroidered handkerchiefs, for your near and dear ones as a memory of visit to Dona Paula Beach.

If you want to chill out in peace and solitude, then look for coasts that offer picturesque vistas of sun, sea and sand. Choose Colva. It’s always deserted in the morning, thus designing a perfect canvas for sunrise. Behold a magnificent sunrise, an alluring blend of red and azure on the frothing waves of Arabian Sea. A leisure trip to the Colva Church, is indeed an exquisite charm that this serene beach of pristine white sands offers to its guests. Till now, you might be wondering about your kismet, if you are adventurous, a water baby or just a beach enthusiast. You need not have to think twice. Choose Vagator. Soar high in the air and feel the kick of Goan air on your face with an incredible parasailing experience. Tourists can find lots of boatmen on the beach who offer dolphin-spotting trips and island tours, negotiate charges with anyone you see organising such activities on the beach. Dancing dolphins on the bubbling waters is indeed an adventure to rejoice. Scuba-diving can also be a magical experience and an amazing way to explore the realms of the sea.

Tips To Remember

The tourism department is taking enough initiatives to promote beach activities in Goa. The best part with this wave caressed land is that it is a sole holiday beach destination and you don’t have to engage yourself in evaluating your options. Numerous holiday packages have been conceived to suit every pocket and interest of the tourists. A few things what you should keep in mind is that swim atleast 300 metres from any river that pours its heart into the sea. It is risky to swim, because in the event that your fate goes wrong, there is a chance that you may get dragged away by strong currents. Dress yourself in comfortable clothes and get a life jacket. Lastly, don’t drink, listen to the lifeguard and please stay in the swimming area.
