Colva Beach, Margao, Goa.

Colva Beach, in its heydays, used to be a retreat for the rich and famous, who would come here from Margaon to spend a few days at leisure. Today Apart from Colva Beach’s beauty, folks come here to enjoy a few water sporting activities, many of whom you can see parasailing till the sun goes down.

This is the most important beach in the south circuit equipped with all modern amenities like air-conditioned resort complexes, tourist cottages, discos, seashell artefact stalls, refreshment stalls, eateries, guest houses, expanding the village enormously. The Church of Our Lady Of Mercy in Colva is famous for its miracle statue of Menino Jesus. 

The road leading from the Church to the beach is where all the facilities are located. Colva is a small village in south Goa on the shores of the Arabian Sea. It lies 39 km away from Panaji, capital of the Indian state of Goa. 

Two km further ahead from Colva is Benaulim. With 20 km of virgin white sands, palm fringed, and sun drenched beaches, Colva is the most loved beach of Goans. Colva, unlike Anjuna or Calangute, gained popularity only lately. It was little disturbed and life moved on quietly.
