Trips: Goa – Of Beaches, Wonderful Beaches

:: Destinations – India – Goa (3/3)

From old churches and temples, from lush countryside to fiery sunsets, we’d already seen some of the best that Goa could offer (of course, in such a short span of time). But, there was one more thing we still had to see. Yes, the many famed beaches of Goa.

Whilst it wasn’t planned that way, nor could it have been practically feasible, we definitely didn’t cover the vast number of beaches that Goa’s coastline has to offer the tourist. But, that’s something we can plan for the future…meanwhile, enjoy some more spectacular pics from our album.
