Colva Beach is the most popular among the south Goa Beaches. It is located a few kilometers south of Dabolim Airport. But far away from the newly built Mopa Airport in the north Goa district.
It is close to the commercial city – Madgaon, which Goa travelers know better as the railhead in the state.
Colva Beach by evening
The beach has fine white sand compared to the beaches popular in the north. This beach gets a lot of tourists during the season including families, couples, sun-bathers, and adventure seekers, beach sports enthusiasts, long walkers seeking a breeze, sunset viewers. It is a hub for various water sports like water scooters, boat rides, and paragliding. Usual amenities like eateries, safety, and accommodations including luxury Hotels and Portuguese-era Goa homestays are all along the stretch of beach within walkable distance and or at short distances away.
Popular South Goa Beach
Colva Beach is part of a long stretch of south Goa beaches extending from Cansaulim to Betul about 20 km in a straight line. Take a look at Google Maps, and zero in on the beach you will realize the stretch of the beach. For beach walking, this is a big attraction. As it offers a unique ‘just can’t get lost’ opportunity to them. You can walk on quiet and empty stretches that are punctuated with beaches like this one filled with people. While on holiday if you like the quieter beaches, we recommend a rather less crowded beach nearby – Utorda Beach.
Sunset Time
Viewing the Sunset sitting while enjoying local food in the shacks, that is after all the exhausting activities on the beach that the memories are going to be made of. Especially for those who do not live on a seashore.
We recommend a visit beach to this beach when you are on holiday in the state. To soak in the Sun, Sand, and the sea. The memorable experience they create together as the sun bids goodbye for the day.

Planning a holiday second week of October
Wonder if its the right time…..hate over crowded areas
October should be Good Ravi. Maximum crowds come in December / January, although a certain number of tourists you will always find in Goa – at any point in time.
I have enjoyed very much. It is so beautiful to feel the beach at sunset.
Yes, to see the sun getting lost in the sea is one of the most magical things to see in the world.
