Goa is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world. Nested comfortably in the western corner of peninsular India, it overlooks the Arabian Sea and boasts of close to 50 beaches. Goa beaches remind of fun & frolic and are destinations of intense jubilation and fanfare. Both Indians and foreigners grab the Goa packages to rush to this beautiful Indian state where entertainment and enjoyment are promised to all.

Goa beautifully epitomizes the fusion of opposites. The throbbing beaches are beautifully contrasted with the quieter ones, the pulsating night life is aptly contrasted with the quaint churches and the modern-age lifestyle is well punctuated with the colonial culture. In one word, Goa is simply fantabulous.

The splendid world of Goa beaches: Goa beaches are the best in the world. You can have all sorts of fun in the beaches of Goa including sports like wind surfing, parasailing and steamer boating. Watching the dying sun in the evening is a romantic affair while the fishermen out in the sea add to the ambience. The palm trees that beautifully line the Goa beaches give them a distinct personality and provide shade from the sun. You can also enjoy massage at the beaches, sip cool drinks, coconut juices & wine and enjoy sun-bath. Some of the popular Goa beaches are Palolem beach, Miramar beach, Dona Paula beach, Anjuna Beach and Baga Beach. Also, there are many Goa hotels that are situated just beside the beaches and luckily, all the beaches in Goa are open for public.

Goa sightseeing: Once you are out of the Goa beaches, you can go for sightseeing. There are myriad number of places to visit including the famous churches like the Se Cathedral and the Basilica of Bom Jesus. These medieval age churches are architecturally magnificent and remind of the good, old days. You can also go for bird watching at the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and go on a wildlife escapade at the Bondla Wildlife Park. At Mayem Lake, you can go for pedal boating and at Dona Paula jetty you can try the aqua biking.

Goa holiday is also cherished for providing opportunities to go bungee jumping or go for river cruise on Santa Monica yacht.

Where to stay: There are innumerable Goa hotels, resorts, guest houses and inns to choose from. You can also splurge on beach huts or stay as a paying guest with a local family. Also, with Goa packages, you can book one of the budgeted Goa hotels at very low prices and without any hassle.
