Beaches
Goa's beaches make up about 125 kilometres (78 mi) of its coastline. These beaches are divided into Northern Goa and Southern Goa Beaches. North Goa is commercial and touristic with an abundance of mostly low and medium budget tourist accommodations; whereas South Goa is where higher–end hotels and private beaches are located. A notable exception in South Goa is Palolem beach which features basic accommodation and is one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa. The further north or south you go, the more isolated the beaches get. Some of the more popular beaches are Baga and Anjuna. These beaches are lined with shacks that provide fresh sea food and drinks. Some shacks arrange special events to attract more customers.

Famous quotes containing the word beaches:
“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
