\nform a small stretch of guest houses, beach huts and restaurants in southern
\nGoa<\/strong>, India. The beaches are beautiful and you can
\nregularly see the fisherman<\/strong> land their catch on the
\nbeaches. Both have tourist facilities such as travel agents and
\nATMs. There is no party scene here, mainly chilled out travelers, and
\nIndian holiday makers, so this is a good place to relax<\/strong>
\n . <\/p>\n
\nugly hotels and restaurants appearing close to the beach. Benaulim remains
\nmore traditional, and is particular is a good place to spend long term<\/strong> in
\nGoa. There is a minibus to the Anjuna Wednesday market.<\/p>\n Getting to Colva or Benaulim<\/h2>\n
Colva<\/h2>\n
\nfishing village to a resort. Several hotels and poorly planed restaurants are appearing around the
\nbus stand area, behind the beach. However, for now, Colva remains a quiet
\ntown with stunning beaches. Colva is popular with Indian Tourists and middle-aged Europeans. There is
\nan ATM, several travel agencies, an autorickshaw stand and places to rent
\nbicycles and motorbikes.<\/p>\n
\ncontinue south down to Benaulim. Some make a good effort with fireworks
\nand music such as Papillon. I don’t recommend eating a Falcons, which was
\nless than ordinary.<\/p>\n
\naccess, near the bus stand.<\/p>\n
\npeak season. Dolphin spotting boat trips are also available from the
\n beach.<\/p>\n Accommodation in Colva<\/h3>\n

\nbest places to stay are the beach huts that spread down to Benaulim, but these
\ncosts INR1,000 at Christmas.<\/p>\n

A friendly,
\nfamily run operation with 4
\nsimple rooms, with private bathrooms. It’s away from the main

\na porch, furniture, cold showers. Bring a mosquito net. The family
\nhave pigs and chickens running around which just adds to the lovely vibe. A
\ngreat place to chill out without beach hut prices. There is a
\n‘candle light cafe’ in the front garden. INR350 at Christmas.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Right next to Joema
\nand a similar deal, without the farm animals or palm trees. There are a
