Colva Beach

 



                                South Goa’s magnificent, vibrant, and popular tourist beach is the Colva Beach. The 2.5 km long beach is known for its gorgeous white sands, greenish-blue waves, lush coconut, and palm trees. Apart from its natural beauty, Colva Beach is popular among tourists for housing hundreds of beach shacks, shops, hotels, and pubs.

                            The beach comes alive at night! If you’re into parties, dancing numbers, eating, and drinking, Colva Beach won’t disappoint you. Colva Beach is also a great place for water activities. Jet skiing, boat rides, and snorkeling are some of the popular rides you can enjoy here.

                               If you’re a religious pilgrim or searching for a peaceful atmosphere make sure to visit the Colva Church, located near the beach. Also known as Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Mercês, Colva Church is dedicated to our lady Mercy. Established in 1630, one of the highlighting features of Colva Church is the miraculous statue of infant Jesus.



How to Reach

                                To reach the beach, the best option is to rent a scooter or motorcycle. Or else you can opt for local transportation such as taxis and auto-rickshaws.
