The state of
Goa is a tropical paradise located on the west coast of India. The palm-lined coastal plains, the wooded uplands and beaches so
still and endless, create an illusion of lethargy - laziness, the
local term. But in reality, Goans are hardworking, full of song,
dance and merriment. Tourism is the main money-spinner and the
majority of the population is engaged in related business.
Goa
has a lot to offer the tourist seeking a fun filled vacation.
Its idyllic tropical white sand beaches and warm tropical waters
beckon to those who want to just relax. Its rich cultural blend
of Indo-Portuguese heritage as is reflected in its history,
culture, cuisine and its people has its own appeal, especially
to those wanting to explore its past.
Goa Beaches - The beaches have seen some significant commercialization, especially
Calangute with hotels of every shape, size and class with shops and
restaurants to cater to every taste. There are a few isolated
beaches for those in search of peace and tranquility. In general,
the beaches are clustered into two regions, north and south Goa coastlines with the capital Panaji and
nearby Miramar
Beach and Bambolim Beach in the middle.
