Bent over their emerald palm crowns, snow-white sand and calm waters of the Arabian Sea - these are the three components of the success of South Goa, the modest and quiet sister of Goa Severnoy - the ruffian, hippar and tusovka . The border between the two halves of one of the most popular states in India in the year it is visited by up to 2 million tourists) passes along the mouth of the Zuari River, which, with its full and somewhat unclear canal, separates the wealthy gentlemen from the West from the tanned young, which famously dances at the "party" in Anjuna or Aram Bole .
So do not be afraid of this terrible word "Goa", which for many forever merged in ecstasy with raging fans of trance: the south of the state - the vale of rich, sedate and knowledgeable price for a good rest of the lady and gentlemen . Here , practically along the whole beach line, there are not huts under thatched roof, but luxurious five-star hotel complexes, behind the state of the shoreline are carefully monitored and are happy to protect their guests from all those delights of India that shock tourists in the first two or three days, forcing 50 once a day wash hands . As a bonus, guests of South Goa are welcome first-class spa and Ayurveda centers, lots of historical attractions and a literally "under the nose" nature reserve, where you can go for a wild, real India .

Beaches of South Goa
Aguada (Aguada) - well-kept and well-equipped sandy beach, located under the walls of the ancient Portuguese fort Aguada. There are luxury hotels and a tourist village "Taj."
Miramar is conveniently located just 3 km from the center of Panaji. The landscapes there are very beautiful, but bathing in the local waters is not entirely safe.
Dona Paula - In the western part of the beach is the official residence of the governor of Goa. This beach is considered a paradise for lovers and, by the way, got its name in honor of Dona-Paula de Menezes, the daughter of the vice-governor, who, according to legend, rushed from the cliff, when she was separated from her lover-fisherman. One of the best sports clubs of Goa is open in Don-Paula, where you can practice any kind of water sports.
Bogmalo is located just 4 km from Dabolim Airport and 8 km from the port city of Vasco da Gama. It is a small bay with an equipped sandy beach surrounded by palm trees. There are a lot of cafes and souvenir shops on the shore.
Majorda is a 30-kilometer strip of beaches, combining coastal areas along 11 villages - from Velsao to Betalbatima. Between the villages there is a bus service along the coast. The beaches here are considered to be the best in the whole resort, and groves of palm trees and fruit trees are everywhere going down to the sea.
Colva is the main tourist center in South Goa, although tourists are noticeably less there than in the same Calangute. There are many relatively inexpensive hotels and restaurants, where a good entertainment program is offered in the evening.
The town of Benaulim is located less than two kilometers from Kolva, between the Sal River and the Arabian Sea. This is even calmer place than Kolva
Varka and Cavelossim - a ten-kilometer strip of clean coast to the south of Benaulim, which has become a beach of the highest category. At least half a dozen luxury hotels are built here
Mobor is a long sandy spit formed at the confluence of the Sal River to the lagoon, surrounded on three sides by water. Beautiful islets, sand dunes, white lilies in ponds - all this makes Mabor unlike other parts of Goa. The magnificent white sands, like all the beaches of India, are municipal property here - so do not pay too much attention to amateur ads of local hotels that some part of the coast is designed exclusively for their guests.
Betul, - the most inaccessible beach, where you need to get on a motor boat. But in those restaurants they serve the largest and delicious mussels in Goa.
Palolem - one of the most distant beaches, tourism there began to develop relatively recently. The most popular local entertainment is fishing and trips to the place of dolphin games
- North or South Goa is better to choose for rest
