Goa without a second thought is one of the most visited destinations in the country. The place has a wonderful mix of land and water and offers the best of both. However, it is the beaches in Goa, where one can laze around in the sun kissed sands and be taken away by the beautiful sunsets and spectacular landscapes.

It is one of the most visited travel destinations not only by Indians but also by people from across the globe. As a matter of fact, it is loved for the puzzling north and south regions. While the Northern part is for those who love to party, with its beaches jumping with high energy even through the dead of the night, South Goa is the opposite; it is quieter, with serene beaches and fewer people around.

Take a look at some of the most popular beaches in the southern part of the state.
