The Indian state of Goa, is also known as the 'pearl of the east'. Known for its Gothic churches, age-old ruins, plam fringed beaches, coconut groves, ferry rides, and bubbly folk music, Goa is India's prime holiday destination. Beauty can be quite inebriating and here you have so much of it-in the golden sands, the blue waters, the sylvan forests and the lakes. Palm-swathed hills, islands, beaches and riverine waters rush to the freedom of the waves, unfold, meet the eye and merge with yet another visual wonder which the land generously and continuously keeps unfolding. Sun, sand and sea being the major attractions, Goa is a perfect holiday heaven for the ones who need and want relaxation.

Holiday in the Beaches of Goa
Goa's best-known feature is its lovely languorous golden beaches that stretch across the 60 miles (100 kms) long coastline. While, some of them are well prepared for tourists and appointed with every facility, be it hotels and resorts, beach shacks and small restaurants serving delicious but affordable food, or beach bazaars with colorful balloons, the others are sandy and isolated retreats perfect for unwinding. Travel to Goa and spend your holiday in Goa and experience India at its best.
