Goa Beaches for Enjoyable Holidays
Goa beaches are conveniently divided into north and south, either side of the capital Panaji.

Anjuna attracts crowds to the weekly flea market held on the beach, Vagator is known for trance parties and Arambol for its fishing village and alternative therapies, be it yoga, meditation or taichi.
To the south, Benaulim is generally relaxed, considered by many visitors to be the most beautiful part of the state, Goa’s stretch of southern coast running from Betul down to the largely forgotten Polem in the south, is a beach-lover’s dream of golden sands, gentle surf, and the mellowest vibe imaginable.
