Goa Beach Vacations

Looking for beach Vacations in India?..Goa is a best choice.

The finest beaches on the subcontinent, a climate which is at its best when the European winter is at its worst and span of accommodation which ranges from the cheapest of guesthouses to the most luxurious of resort hotels, have made this Goa state on the Arabian Sea one of the world’s fastest-growing tropical tourist destinations, attracting many holiday-makers every year.

I am giving a overview about Goa beach vacations on this page.

The magnificent beaches and the architectural splendours of its temples, churches and old houses have made Goa a firm favourite with travellers around the world.

The tourist season in Goa begins in late September and carries on through early March. The weather in these months is usually dry and pleasantly cool.

Then the weather gets fairly    hot around May and by end of June, Goa receives the full     blast of the Indian monsoon    with sudden downpours and tropical thunderstorms.

However  it is also during the monsoon that Goa is probably at its most beautiful, with greenery sprouting all around.
