COLVA (click here for photo)

This is the most important beach in the South circuit, equipped with all modern amenities like air-conditioned resort complexes, touristcottages, discos, besides several stalls, eateries and guest housesall of which have expanded the village enormously.

With 20 kms of virgin white sands, palm fringed, sun drenched beaches, Colva is the most loved beach in Goan. Unlike Anjuna orCalangute, Colva has gained popularity only lately. Located just 39 kms from the capital Panaji, it was relatively little disturbed and lifemoved on quietly.

The Church of Our Lady Of Mercy in Colva is famous for its miracle statue of Menino Jesus. The busy road leading from the Church to thbeach is where all the facilities are located.
