GOA : Colva Beach
The Vibe:South Goa's main beach, busy at the centre.
The principal beach of the Salcete coast and the closest to Margao. Its centre is developed and busy; the sand runs quiet within a short walk either way.
Vendors and shacks crowd the main entrance, then thin out fast. Beyond them the beach opens into a long, flat stretch with the surf a steady line.
