As the three-day Goa carnival comes to an end, the tourists may feel a little disappointed as their heart keeps asking for more fun. Well, there is absolutely no reason to be disappointed because apart from the carnival, Goa is doted with lovely beaches. Goa Colva Beach is considerably a quiet beach. While at Colva beach, you do nothing but just laze around. Gather your collection of interesting books and head for Goa's Colva beach. You can enjoy the day reading the book with just the whispers of the sea to disturb you.
Though there are eating joints and hotels around Colva, the Colva beach still manages to keep its serenity in tact.
