Palolem Beach is about 37 kilometers south of Margoa. This 'C' shaped beach, with a backdrop of the Western Ghats, is one of Goa's most beautiful southern beaches. The hill at the north end is partly submerged at high tide to give the impression of an island in the middle of a calm lagoon. In this small village, accommodation is available in the form of tents and simple cottages. This beach has become one of the favourite site for overnight beach picnics among the youth of Goa. At one end lies Canacona Island, linked to the land by causeway. Palolem village lies a hundred meters from the soft golden sands of the beach, to which it is connected by a short street.
Colva Beach is approximately eight kilometers from Margoa, the commercial centre of South Goa. It is the most popular beach of South Goa and hence the most crowded. Colva beach has good number of beach shacks. On weekends and festivals the beach gets fairly crowded with the city crowd of Margoa.
To the north of Colva, the beach stretches 5K.M towards the headland of Bogmalo and Mormugoa. Further to the south is Betalbatim and Colva. Towards the north is the most peaceful beach Velsao. Majorda beach is idyllic thing in our minds about these beaches is the total solitude that you will find, as you can walk for hours on end and only pass a handful of people. There are also a few excellent shacks that sell exquisite sea food, after you have worked up a good appetite with the walking.
The main road from Cavelossim continues south across a two kilometre long tract of exposed rolling dunes, coming to an abrupt end at Mobor, terminus for buses arriving from Colva Benaulim and Margoa In this tiny toddy-tapping and fishing village there are no less than seven ritzy resort complexes amid the coconut plantations.
The Sernabatim Beach can actually be called an extension of the beautiful Colva Beach while one moves down south from the beach towards the Benaulim. The best part however, is that the sandy beach is much cleaner and profound while the sea waves also appear to have had a calming effect making life easier for the swimming enthusiast.
The main attraction, apart from a quiet beach and great beauty is the sunset, which is a major draw. The sun setting into the Arabian Sea is a mesmerizing scene, which is not to be missed. The beach being far away from the busy beaches is isolated and does not attract many tourists thus; it is possible to relax without much disturbance from the crowds or vendors.
Seven kilometers from north of Colva is Utorda, idyllic strip of palm-ringed shore. Towards the north is Arrosim and towards the south is Majorda Beach. The entire long stretch of beach is lovely and peaceful.

At various intervals you will find an array of shacks, some with their own sunbeds for hire and some without. One when you find your own shade then Varca beach is excellent for peace and quiet. On this beach is the fact that many of the hotels hire bicycles which you can cycle along the whole 26 K.Ms at your leisure.
