The Anjuna Beach
is one of the most popular beaches in Goa. Also known as the
'freak capital' of the world, this beach was the favorite
haunt of the hippies or the 'flower generation' in the sixties.
Its popularity has still not waned going by the thousands
of people who visit it everyday. There is magnificent Albuquerque
Mansion built in 1920, flanked by octagonal towers and attractive
Mangalore tile-roof. |

| Colva
Beach |
If any beach deserves the title of 'Queen' it
is Colva, as this beach is without equal in India. It's
nothing short of paradise, with 40 Km of uninterrupted
white sand fringed with coconut palms along the whole
of its length and a warm, calm sea. Go a little way in
either direction from Colva village and you will find
the nearest thing to a deserted beach. The other main
beaches at Aguada and Bagmalo are largely for the jet
set and sport expensive five-star resorts. It’s
silver-gray, powder-fine sand that has been the inspiration
for many folk tales and songs. |
