Here, the land, sea and sky blend in enchanting natural harmony lined with coconut palms. Colva located in South Goa is 40 kms from Panaji and 6 kms from Margao, the second largest city in Goa.
Colva has miles of virgin territory laced with soft white sand for you to explore on continuous strip of coastline. Longest among all beaches in Goa, Colva stretches 26 kms (with several continuous beaches) along the Arabian Sea. Over last few years Colva has become our domestic tourist's paddling beach.
The Colva Beach is broad and beautiful, and has a stream coursing through it. Colva is the oldest and largest of South Goa’s resorts. Its leafy outlying ‘Vaddos’, or wards are pleasant enough, dotted with colonial style villas and ramshackle fishing huts. The beachfront is a collection of concrete hotels, souvenir stalls and fly blown snack bars strewn around a central roundabout.
A walk on the beaches is full of delights. Fishermen’s motor trawlers lie anchored in a line offshore. Tourists in colorful dresses throng about and several of them can be seen sunbathing in the glorious sun. Trinket stalls and drink stands on the golden sands make a moonlit evening on the Colva Beach utterly romantic.Colva can be pleasant and convenient place to stay for a while. Swimming is relatively safe while the sand, at least away from the beachfront, is spotless and scattered with beautiful shells.
When the season is in full swing, Colva’s beachfront sprouts a row of large seafood restaurants on stilts, some of them very ritzy indeed, with tablecloths, candles and smooth music. Although never an established rave venue, Colva’s nightlife is livelier than anywhere else in south Goa, thanks to its ever-growing contingent of young package tourists.
