Beaches in Goa
One of the most popular yet un-spoilt tourist attractions of India, Goa is a tropical paradise, renowned for her exquisite natural beauty. Though considerably smaller in area than most of the other provinces of India, yet, this tiny region is drained by as many as seven rivers and their estuary. Add to this the long 125 kms coastline which Goa enjoys and it becomes obvious that much of the appeal of the state is synonymous with water. Beaches form the most important tourist attraction of Goa, symbolizing the state to a large extent. Beaches in Goa are many and varied offering different visual and tourist attractions to the travelers to the state.
Beaches in Goa are to a large extent a part and parcel of the life of most Goans. The influence that most of these beaches have on the Goan culture is something that is so deeply rooted in time and the habits of her people that it is today, difficult to imagine Goa without them. Some of the important beaches of Goa are:
Once the capital of hippies and trance parties in Goa, Anjuna Beach is today known for its flea markets and bargain shopping. Wednesday is the official shopping day at the beach and a must visit for shopaholics.
- Baga Beach and Calangute Beach
Arguably Goa's best loved beach, this is a long stretch of coastline crowded by tourists and local hawkers. The heart of Goa, this is a definite must-have in your itinerary.
