Thousands of sun-deprived tourists from colder countries visit India to get benefited of powerful triad of the sun, the sea and the sand at the most diverse varieties of beaches. Lagoons, bays, marine estuaries with fish, crashing surf, powdery golden sand and palm fringed shores-all the resources at Indian sea beaches present spectacular effects to the tourists from world over.
The West Coast with the Arbian Sea and the East Coast with the Bay of Bengal offer a beautiful surrounding to the traveler. India has almost 6000 Km long coast line. The coasts have their own seafood cuisine, relaxing spas, diving and water sports to stay for a soothing holiday.
Kovalam in southern state Kerala undoubtedly is one of India’s best sea resorts. The long coastline lined with swaying coconut palm trees dotted with an occasional fishing hamlet is fast developing into one of the world’s finest string of beaches. The sea applauds the beach temple in Mahabalipuram, gloriously silhouetted against the spectrum of the seven colours in the sky. Puri, on the East Coast, is surely one of the world’s most picturesque beaches. And then there is Digha, a three hour drive out of Kolkata, a beautiful beach, splendid in its isolation.
The beach holiday to beat them all is in the Isles of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshwandeep, where you can realize the myriad colours of the flashy fish in the coral reefs from above the green waters and get thrilled with underwater games and other activities like elephant safari, trekkers, lagoon cruises and island camping.
The Anjuna Beach is rightly referred to as the Fleak Capital of the World and happens to be one of the most popular beaches in the Beach Capital of India, Goa. Now fully developed as an international beach resort, Goa offers the best holiday villages on its beaches. Everything about Goa is spellbinding from the landscape dotted with Portuguese architecture, to the way of life that exudes an irresistible Old World charm. Anjuna or Calangute Beach, and Miramar Bay in Panjim are quieter. Beach vendors sell all manner of kitsch in Anjuna and Calangute. You can rent beach mats and mattresses, sunglasses, and the usual tourist paraphernalia. You can even get all sorts of spaghetti, German bread and Italian food. The beach at Calangute is rocky. At Anjuna the waters are gentle and offer opportunities for boat rides, sea scooter rides, spot-the-dolphins rides, and motorboat rides. Colva and Benaulim are quieter and less crowded than Anjuna. The Fort Aguada beach offers gorgeous views that merit a visit.
