Beauty of Colva Beach
The white powdery sand on the shores of the Arabian Sea along with the swaying palms and the sensuous sun creates the picture perfect holiday spot. It is a fisherman’s beach because as one strolls around the Colva beach one can see the mackerels laid on the beach sands for drying. Fishermen’s motor trawlers can be seen anchored in a line offshore. The trinket stalls and the drink stands on the golden sands under the moonlight make the evening on the Colva Beach utterly romantic.
Places Of Interest
Colva is a small village in south Goa on the shores of the Arabian Sea. It lies 39 km away from Panaji, capital of Goa. Two km further ahead from Colva is Benaulim. Nossa Senhora de Merces (Our Lady of Mercy) Church in Colva is famous for its annual religious event—Fama of Menino Jesuse (Child Jesus)—since the 17th century. It is one of Goa’s most popular feasts and a big fair is held on the occasion at Colva. After 4 pm, from early October to late May, one can see the bull fights at Benaulim beach which lies close to Colva beach. On the beat of taped Konkani music, the bullfights are usually held in an old rice field with no fences or barricades just outside a village.
