I have been to many beaches in India – the famous Juhu beach in Mumbai, the Marina beach in Chennai and many more. But Goa beaches will always have a special place in my heart. The fun one can have in the beaches of Goa is unparalleled. The vibrant shores are captivating and delightfully remind me that my love for the sea is totally justified. Its invigorating effect on my persona and spirits is something that cant be matched anywhere else.
‘Susegad’ is a unique element of the Goan culture and the tradition, described as a relaxed attitude and enjoyment of life to the fullest. I experience this and a feeling of rejuvenation of my mind, body and soul happens the moment I walk on a Goa beach.
The oceans have always amazed me, bringing a sense of happiness and peace from within. And the beaches of Goa definitely top my list of tripping by the ocean. The beaches in Goa offer an ubiquitous feeling, especially when the waves splash on my body, wiping down every stress in my life.
What makes Goa beaches so enchanting is the feeling of joie de vivre, which is present in every breath of the fresh air, every splash of the sea waves, in the vibrant colours of the homes and above all, the people and culture of Goa. Joie de vivre means cheerful enjoyment of life and an exultation of spirit which is ingrained in every aspect of Goa.This state and its beaches offer a blissful experience for all the three elements of life, namely joys of the body, moments of quiet solitude for the mind and a holistic experience for the soul to transcend the realm of reality and stay eternally happy.
For me, getting into the sea and splashing around is the best way to wash away all my tensions, feelings of tiredness and lethargy. Plus, there are tons to choose from among the variety of water sports in Goa. Mandrel and Morjim beaches are perfect for the lovers of water sports or for those who want to get their adrenalin rushing. Even kitesurfing can be done at both Mandrem and Morjim beaches in Goa. Dona Paula near Panjim has a one of its kind experience when it comes to windsurfing with wonderful breezes.
Candolim and Baga beaches are known to have the best operators in scuba diving,offering a view into the wonderland under the sea. Baga beach is especially good for water sports in Goa as this is the safest beach for first time divers. Grande Island and Uma Guva Reef are few of the amazing scuba diving adventure spots in Goa for glimpses of stunning underwater marine life like colourful fish and turtles.
Water sports are perfect for unwinding from stress and relieving muscular tension of the body. But if you are a music and party lover, Palolem offers one of a kind dance experience at the beach with what is called a silent party. It is a full beach party with fun, lights, glamour and groovy rythms playing on your personal headphones.
