Here is little else which spells vacation quite as loudly as a picture of a sandy beach with a border of green palm trees and a frothy white and blue coastline. With a couple of ships out sailing in the deep blue sea and an umbrella sheltering you from the hot sun as you sip a cool drink and laze in your chair. The beach experience is one of the best holidays you can have.
Considering the rather large coastline that India has, it is surprising that there is a shortage of good holiday spots near beaches. Besides Goa, which really developed its holiday tourism industry other places have just one odd famous beach which can be used as a holiday destination.
Although things are getting better as more people get aware of the potential and potency of tourism dollars. Here's a list of the ten most popular beaches in India (as per Yahoo!), I hope it has your favorite as well.
1. Calangute Beach
Located in Goa, it has a great many eateries and lots of things to do. From para-sailing, to horse riding to beach combing you can do it all. Shopping in the areas around it is also good, but don't forget to bargain.
2. Varkala Beach
Located in Kerela this place is famous as a beach resort. If you do go visit the 900 year old Janardana Swami Temple which is an important shrine for the followers of Lord Visnu or the Vaishnavites.
3. Vagator Beach
Again located in Goa although much more to the north.It is about half an hour's drive from Panajim. It is place where you can see the salty sea and two fresh water lakes with a couple of kms of each other. The trek is long if you have kids along.
4. Kovalam Beach
Located in Kerela about 16 kms away from the capital city of Thiruvanthapuram, Kovalam has long been popular with holiday makers. It takes you half an hour to get here and the True Malabar experience is to be experienced to be believed. Especially in the local cuisine.
5. Kashid Beach
Located in Maharashtra, this beach is located near Janjira at Murud. It is about fours hour drive from Mumbai, but the peace and quiet are worth it. Kashid is quite close to Alibagh and can be taken in as a day trip if you are holidaying there.
6. Anjuna Beach
Located in Goa again, this beach is not as famous as its Flea Market. The visit to this flea market will make you wonder how such diverse goods can be sold in one single place. You can pick up literally anything here. Definitely worth a visit.
7. Marina Beach
Located in Tamil Nadu, it is the second longest beach stretch in the world. Four and a half kms to be exact. Unfortunately it is also one of the beaches that was devastated in the Tsunami and so has seen a major dip in visitors since then.
8. Juhu Beach
Located in Mumbai, this has to be one of the dirtiest and most crowded beaches in the world. However if you go in the early hours of the morning for a jog, you may enjoy it.
9. Baga Beach
Located in Goa, and a popular one for foreign tourists, the eateries in this beach serve some authentic continental food. Great for the shacks and also for the yummy sea food restaurants here.
10. Gokarna Beach
Located in Karnataka, this beach is just waking up to its potential. If you are looking for pure raw natural beauty, the beaches south of the jungle will capture your heart. Breathtakingly beautiful are the words that come to mind.
