About South Goa and the surrounding areas
Despite many years of tourism, South Goa still remains relatively untouched outside of the hotels. There are lots of small lanes winding through the lush green countryside where it is not surprising to see cows and pigs wandering aimlessly across the road like they have all the time in the world! There is a much slower pace to life with quiet fishing villages nestling on the coast and paddy fields with natural wildlife inland. A holiday in south Goa is arguably more relaxed than the north. The beaches of south Goa with white sand and calm sea comprise of Bogmolo, Colva, Benaulim, Cavelossim and Mabor. The peace and tranquillity on offer in South Goa means that many of the self-contained larger 4 and 5* hotels are located on their own unspoilt beaches. The beaches of southern Goa are some of the finest in the world and whilst quieter than the North still offer many beach shacks that serve delicious food as well as water sport activities.
Benaulim beach is about 5 mins walk away from the property. It is a nice walk with plenty of things to look at on the way. If you don’t fancy walking you can hire a bicycle for your stay and cycle to the beach. The beach itself is quiet, with designated swimming areas as there is a lifeguard on duty here. The local fishermen still fish from the beach so you will encounter local fishing boats on the beach, all adding to the charm of Benaulim and Goa. There are several restaurants and beach shacks on the beach to ensure that you don't go hungry or thirsty. The swaying palm trees hint at the lovely breeze that greets you at the beach, a welcome respite should you choose to sunbathe.
The road leading to Benaulim beach has all the usual stalls and shops that would expect to find in Goa. Whether you are interested in purchasing local crafts or jewellery, you will find it all here. In addition, there are all the services you could possibly need including an ATM, beauty parlour, restaurants, bicycle hire, a GP, money exchange, tailors, Ayurvedic Massage.
A little further from the apartment (approx 15 min drive) you will come upon Colva. This is one of the more well known beaches in South Goa. Again the beach offers a plethora of restaurants and sports activities along the long and wide sandy beach as well as several night spots. Colva has also seen the introduction of a Monday night market to rival the North’s Ingo’s Saturday Night Market. In our opinion, the first is still the best in terms of variety and entertainment, but why not try both as they are on different nights?
