One of South Goa's premium beaches, the Benaulim Beach has still gone unnoticed at least by domestic tourists who tend to flock to North Goa's Calangute Beach. Much quieter than most other beaches, Benaulim is well known for its fishing activity, gleaming white sands, deep blue waters, and picturesque surroundings. When night falls, this beach is transformed into a sort of fairyland with many of the sea-facing eateries lighting up in anticipation of tourists looking for some nocturnal entertainment, local cuisines, and well-crafted drinks. During the peak season, one can indulge in boat rides, water sports, and paragliding.
Although there are many famous beaches in Goa, most of them are crowded and thronged by tons of travelers. However, one hidden gem in the city is the Varca Beach. Relatively untouched by the crazy Goa crowd, this beach has fantastic fine golden sand with turquoise blue waters that makes it a pristine destination to visit. There are rows of colorful boats, which belong to local anglers and you can even take pictures with it.
Due to its close proximity to Margao, which is located at a distance of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), and the tranquil setting (as it is relatively unknown), the Uttorda Beach is a perfect place to indulge in beach side activities. Apart from the regular activities such as swimming and sunbathing, many tourists are found indulging in wind-surfing and other activities. The lengthy beach is lined with a number of luxurious resorts, making this an upscale part of the stretch. Under the watchful eyes of the lifeguards, you can go for swimming, surfing and a list of other activities at the Uttorda Beach.
Set along the shores of a serene bay, this seaside village is sheltered by dense, emerald groves. Located in amid the southern reaches of Goa, Bogmalo is best known for the splendors afforded by is beach. Proffering a an unobstructed view of the sea, rustling palm trees and white sand, this beach is a serene sanctum despite commercialization, promising visitors an incredible rendezvous with nature. The coast of Bogmalo is speckled with restaurants, bars, pubs and shops selling traditional handicrafts and antiques. The famed Bogmalo Beach Resort stands nearby, alongside a string of contemporary buildings that have cropped up along its perimeter. Nevertheless, Bogmalo has sustained its natural beauty, anchored by an obscure white chapel and a smattering of enigmatic shipwrecks strewn across its course.
