Goa is a very popular beach destination in India. Visited annually by 2 million tourists, Goa has an unavoidable charm. Goa is located on the Western Ghats of India on the bay of Arabian Sea. The swaying palm and the silver sand at the beaches of Goa provide some of the most desired beach experience to tourists.
Goa has a coastline of 125 kms, and hosts as much as 50 beaches. However, the beaches on the coastline do not exist in a stretch. The coastline is intermittently broken by islands, villages, rivers, and tributaries, adding an interesting twist to the Goan beaches. The elegant curves of the beaches attract tourists from all over the world.

While the North Goa beaches are known to be the center of activity and fun, South Goa beaches provide the much desired solace, and isolation. In other words South Goa beaches are less crowded as compared to the North Goa beaches.
