Goa has a few of the most beautiful beaches in India. The name by itself conjures up the image of a tropical paradise with vast expanse of sandy beaches facing the enticing azure blue Arabian Sea and the palm fronds swaying gently in the breeze. For over a couple of decades, Goa has remained one of the hottest tourist destinations in India. The lovely emerald green shores, white or golden sand on the beach, the lovely tropical settings, the verdant canopy of coconut palms, vast expanse of paddy fields and the Portuguese churches and mansions, the remnants of the colonial days, make Goa all the more special.
The beaches of Goa are located mainly around Mapusa, Panaji and Margao. A few of the most popular beaches in Goa are Calangute Beach, Baga Beach, Anjuna Beach, Dona Paula Beach and Colva Beach. These beaches are well connected to the Dabolim airport. They are also connected to major railway stations in Goa. Taxis or auto-rickshaws can be hired from the airport or the railway stations to reach one of these beaches.
