If you are looking for dazzling coastline, an ideal sea bathing and basking in the sun kissed and drenched beach, seducting atmosphere for relaxing, swimming, then the drop of Golden sun on the west coast of India i. e. GOA is a perfect choice. Goa has a 120 kms long coastline, by the turquoise Arabian sea. Wedged between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, with the giant states of Maharashtra and Karnataka engulfing it on three sides. BEACHES IN GOA Calangute, Baga ( North Goa) Anjuna (North Goa) Vagator (North Goa) Arambol Beach( North Goa) Candolim Beach Colva & Benaulim (South Goa) Palolem

Calangute is the most popular holiday resort in Goa Though it attracts a crowd of tourists, it has a good beach  no` rocks, good swimming and a particularly good beach shack about 300m from the main step. The main road, inland, runs parallel to the beach with several streets off it giving access to the sea. Baga is the north end of Calangute beach with clean white sand. The N end of Baga is best. An attractive estuary can be waded at the low tide, the walk round the headland leading to Anjuna beach. Early risers may see fishermen returning with their catch. Bicycles can be hired at many places in Calangute and Baga at a very nominal cost. Location : 16 Km from Panaji South of Vagator beach, Anjuna is one of Goa's most popular beaches, though the headland is rather too rocky for comfortable swimming. The Wednesday flea market is huge and very popular. Full moon, when the parties take place, is a particularly good time to be here 18 Km from Panaji. Candolim Beach is one of most frequented and popular beach of Northern Goa. The beach starts at the footsteps of the highly acclaimed Fort Aguada, built by the Portuguese in 1612.This sandy stretch runs into Calangute Beach, a busy and commercialized center. The Candolim Beach itself is long and straight, backed by scrub-covered dunes, which is very popular with package tourists. This beach is quite peaceful than other beaches of Goa as it is a dispersed village with no real center. Location: 15 Kms from Panjim in the Bardez taluka . Comparing to its surrounding beaches, Candolim is very quite, this is due to the fact that they didn't built resort all around the beach. It's a subtle mixture of people taking break from the Rajneesh Ashram in Pune, Tourist for long and short term period, and nature lover's. For the moment the village remains little more than a ribbon development of small hotels and cafes.
