Colva
is by far the most popular of South Goa beaches, famous for its white sands
and is to South Goa what Calangute is to the North Goa. For those who like to
be where the action is Colva is the place in South Goa, with lots of resorts,
shops and activity. For those who prefer more tranquil surroundings, there are
smaller places to stay at within 20 minutes walking distance on either side
of Colva. There are a number of restaurants on either side of the road leading
up to the beach and the numerous shacks on the beach provide less variety but
equally good quality of food. Colva is only a 20 minute ride by bus from the
town of Margao.
The
gently shelving sands are increasingly being haunted by hawkers, masseurs and
fruit-vendors. Otherwise, Benaulim is a relatively quieter beach than many,
friendly and warm. The neighbouring beach of Varca, is more peaceful as tourism
has not reared its head enough to change the lifestyle of the locals. There
are a few bars and restaurants and basic accommodation is available here. |
