Goa is one of the most popular tourist destination in India. Goa has something to offer to all age groups. People love coming here even from outside India. Even though north goa is more popular among the young crowds, but its south goa where you will find the most beautiful and cleaner beaches . South goa also offers many beach resorts. These are beautiful properties which have private access to the beaches. We stayed in Hyatt Inn Beach resort in Bambolim goa. The rooms very were just lovely and the staff was very courteous . The inhouse restaurants also had a lot to offer. One of their restaurants is on the beach side offering beautiful view of the beach along with some scrumptious food. We celebrated my daughters birthday there and they did a lovely decor and dinner arrangement by the beach.

1. Beaches
South Goa has some most beautiful, peaceful and clean beaches
- Benaulim Beach – This beach is famous for fishing. Early morning sight of the fishermen pulling their large nets from sea and sorting their day’s catch is a great experience. This beach is surrounded by coconut palms and rice paddies.
- Arossim Beach – The quiet and undeveloped resort of Arossim will prove a hub of rest and relaxation for those on their Goa holidays.

- Cavelossim Beach – This beach hosts Radisson, Novotel, Holiday Inn & St Regis hotels, amongst others, is a quiet beach which offers nice views and possesses sand which is smooth & devoid of pebbles.
- Mobor Beach – Mobor beach is almost like a private beach for the HI and the adjacent St.Regis.Mike’s shack by the beach serves very good Goan food – fish, chicken, pork, beef; with beer to wash it down.Beach side cabanas to lie down and read a book.
Water activites available right off the shore – jetski, banana boat, para sailing. All quite reasonably priced. - Butterfly Beach – Very small beach. Cute, absolutely no crowd. No dhabas, etc just the you and the nature. Good to spend an hour or so. Peaceful. If you are a bird lover like me you would be lucky to capture a few of them. You would also be lucky to capture few Dolphins on way to this beach.
