Part of the main
stretch of Southern Beaches of Goa, location of the most exclusive beach
resort hotels in Goa and India tourism. |
| |
Less than 2 km south of Colva is the even more peaceful and serene beach
of Benaulim, well known as the location for Taj Exotica, Goa. The swimming
is good and long beach walks, a staple of a Goa holiday are specially
enjoyable north to Colva. Walks or rides on the Beach Road through picturesque
countryside 4 km to Colva are also equally enjoyable. The otherwise tranquil
beach tends to get crowded on weekends when it attracts local picnickers. |

| Dolphin watching boat trips are amongst the fun activities available
here. |

Benaulim is one of the few places where one can glimpse typical Goa handicrafts.
The best of the traditional rosewood furniture is made here. |

Goa travel industry. Numerous good value restaurants and beach
shacks along the beach cook up delicious dishes from varied cuisine. On

The small Church of St John the Baptist is situated on a hill
beyond the village, and worth a visit. Feast of St John (Sao Joao) is
celebrated on 24th June as a thanksgiving for the arrival of
the monsoons. This is one of the most fascinating Christian festivals
of Goa or India, where young men wearing crowns of leaves and fruits tour
the area singing for gifts. They also jump in the brimming village wells
to commemorate the movement of St John in his mother's womb when Mary,
the mother of Jesus, visited her. |
