Colva
with its virgin white sands, palm fringed, and sun drenched beach, is the most loved beach of Goans. Its leafy outlying 'Vaddos', or wards are pleasant enough, dotted with colonial style villas and ramshackle fishing huts. The beachfront is a collection of concrete hotels, souvenir stalls and fly blown snack bars strewn around a central roundabout.
If, however, one wants to steer clear of this central market area, and stick to the cleaner, greener outskirts, Colva can be a pleasant and convenient place to stay. Swimming is relatively safe while the sand, at least away from the beachfront, is spotless and scattered with beautiful shells.
When the season is in full swing, Colva's beachfront sprouts a row of large seafood restaurants on stilts, some of them very ritzy indeed, with tablecloths, candles and smooth music. The prices in these places are top whack, but the portions are correspondingly vast, and standards generally high. Budget travelers' are equally well catered for, with a sprinkling of Shack Cafés at the less frequented ends of the beach.
The church in Colva is famous for its annual religious event - Fama of Menino Jesus (Child Jesus) - since the 17th century. The predominantly Catholic community celebrates it on the third Monday of October every year. It is one of Goa’s most popular feasts and a big fair is held on the occasion at Colva.
While taking a stroll on the Colva Beach, silver carpets of Bangdde (mackerels) can be viewed shimmering on the golden sands for drying. Fishermen’s motor trawlers can be seen anchored in a line offshore.
Tourists - Indian and foreigners, as well as locals - can be seen in colorful dresses, coming either for a walk or ‘for a change of air’. Many tourists can be seen having a sunbath on the golden sands of Colva.
The trinket stalls and the drink stands on the golden sands under the moonlight make the evening on the Colva Beach utterly romantic.
