Shimmering sands, credible coconut palms, ultra fresh seafood and a wide expanse of the coastline to be explored will soothe your senses on a trip to the mystical beaches of Goa. Appealing habitats of picturesque natural charm, the beaches of Goa are a real paradise for a true nature lover. Sandwiched between the sea and verdant forested hills, the beaches of Goa cover about 83 kms of the total coastline of the state measuring 125 km.

Accepted as a matter of life, the beaches of Goa are far more popular than any other beach in India. The pleasure of Sun and Sand accompanied by an exotic cuisine and the adventurous sports on water are there to keep you in an elated spirit on these beaches.

A state of seven rivers and their estuaries, Goa in itself appears like a long big beach to the onlookers at times, though illusionary. Shaking your leg to the rocking beats of music with a glass of Feni or Beer, shopping at the beachside for junk jewellery and conch shells or enjoying a midnight bonfire on the beach; are the options to unwind at the beachside.

Another very important aspect of these beaches is their different appearance in every season. A revamping of these beaches seemingly takes place every new season thus acting as a fervor enhancer of the tourists, never tired of Goa. Most of the beaches in Goa derive their names either from the adjoining villages or from the villages they fall in. Some famous beaches of Goa include the Aquada Bay, Anjuna Beach, Agonda Beach, Benaulim Beach, Bogmalo Beach, Baga Beach, Calangute Beach, Cavelossim Beach and the Candolim Beach.
