Notably for the travellers and tourism lovers, the Colva Beach or the jewel of south Goa, is the most commonly visited place when they keep coming down for its hospitable people, great food and the cosy beach walks.

Anybody wanting the fun-filled evening with a night out experience shouldn't miss the Baga Beach.

The wonderful Colangute Beach is surrounded by palm and coconut trees, the beach is spread four miles along the Arabian Sea and nine miles from the Panaji. Due to its incredible beauty and serenity, it's known as the 'Queen of Beaches'.  A classic locale for the beach bums is this: a perfect tourist retreat, replete with souvenir kiosks, shacks and countless stalls selling beer to trinkets and paraphernalia. All these simply add to the popularity of beach, making it a must-visit place. Huge showrooms with exquisite handicrafts from Kashmir, Rajasthan, Tibet, Indonesia and other places dot the main road running towards Anjuna.

Last but not least, the silent destination of the north Goa’s Vagator Beach is the combination of its ecological glory.

Privacy plays an important role in everyone's life which makes this beach one of the most visited beaches of all. A Fifteenth century Chapora Fort built atop the hillock today lying in ruins is a must visit.

A famous Bollywood movie scene was shot at this Fort for which many Tourists call it the ‘Dil Chahta Hai Fort’. For sure, the now somewhat restless Goa shall host again tourists from all over the world and it is hoped airfare will not be steep, at least initially, till tourism picks up.
