ADITYA PAREEK FYBCOM B C183246   As we know Goa is famous for its beaches, most of the tourists are focused on the coastal areas, one of the best beaches to visit in south Goa is Betul beach, which lies near a small coastal village Betul, 24kms away from the main city Margao. One can reach Betul by road from Margao or by taking a ferry at Assolna or Mobor. Betul is small but beautiful beach. It is known for its serenity and biodiversity.

Rishvesh Naik  Fybcom B C18-3244 It so happened one day that my friends began to talk about hidden beaches of Goa. They began talking about various other beaches which I had already visited. But then they started gossiping about this beach named cola. I was fascinated by its name and wished to visit it. My friends being so good to me made a plan to go there. The cola beach is also known as “khola beach”. This is the name given by the locals. This beach is situated in Canacona in a remote area. It takes 20 minutes to reach Cola from Palolem beach and 10 minutes from Agonda beach. As we were about to reach the Cola beach I noticed that we have to take the mud road which will take us to the beach. But I think that quote saying “tough roads often take  you to the most beautiful destination”  is really true because as soon as we reached there, I felt like I was very close to nature and it felt like the environment is trying to take away all my fatigue, tensions and r...

Pragati Khebude    Fybcom B    C18-3239 The view of the beach from top If anyone would ask me which is the best beach I have visited in Goa I would reply the Grandmothers hole beach. Grandmothers Hole beach lies 3 kms. away from the city of Vasco near the Marmagoa Port Trust housing colony at the Vasco Sada Headland area. Located close to the beach is the coastal defense battery of the Indian Navy. The beach can be reached by personal vehicle maybe a car or a bike or local buses which ply from Vasco to the area at regular interval. Parking is available on the top of the cliff and on crossing a small park, you’ll have to make your way down 222 steps to get to this picturesque little sandy strip. I actually counted the steps on the calf-strained walk up the steps again. So unfit! Steps that lead to the beach The entrance to the beach is next to the Japanese garden. A flight of steps lead down to the beach along a winding path which goes through ...
