GOA BEACHES

Kovalam
There are many fantastic beaches in India,and Kovalam is among those beaches beside Goa. Kovalam is southwest of India and is about 10 K.M south of Thiruvananthapuram which is the capital of Kerala. It is the only beach resort of kerala and is very popular with Indian as well as International Tourist.

Kovalam consist of many beaches but the most important and the beautiful beach is the Lighthouse beach where most of the tourist spend their time. It also offers a spectacular view across to Vizhindam mosque.


Gopalpur
A golden beach fringed by sand dunes and ruins of an old jetty from where, in medieval times, sailors set out to Indonesia. A perfect beach, fairly isolated and undisturbed by the day trippers. 170 Kms from Bhubaneshwar.

Calangute & Baga
Seemingly not all that long ago, Calangute was the beach all self-respecting hippies headed for, especially around Christmas when psychedelic hell broke loose. If you enjoyed taking part in those mass pujas, with their endless half-baked discussions about `when the revolution comes' and `the vibes, maaan', then this was just the ticket. You could frolic around without a stitch on, be ever so cool and liberated, get totally out of your head on every conceivable variety of ganja from Timor to Tenochtitlan and completely disregard the feelings of the local inhabitants.

Anjuna
Anjuna beach attracts a weird and wonderful collection of overlanders, monks, defiant ex-hippies, gentle lunatics, artists, artisans, seers, searchers, sybarites and itinerant expatriates who normally wouldn't be seen out of the organic confines of their health-food emporia in San Francisco or London. It's famous throughout Goa for its Wednesday flea market, and has retained an undeniable, if somewhat shabby, charm. This is a good place to stick around for a while, make some friends and engage in mellow contemplation while the sun goes down.

Dona Paula
At the place where two of Goa's famous rivers meet the Arabian Sea is the secluded bay of Dona Paula with a fine view of the Marmagoa Harbour. This beach of Goa carries with it an aura of both romance and myth - haunted by Dona Paula de Menezes; tourists throng the Dona Paula beach not only in search of the deceased beloved, but also to indulge in water sports on the clear waters.
