Colva Beach, Coastal beach in South Goa, India.
The 2.5-kilometer beach features white sand stretching between Bogmalo and Cabo de Rama, with palm trees lining the shoreline alongside water activities.
Portuguese nobles and aristocratic families made this beach their private retreat from the 16th century until 1961, building grand residences along the coast.
The Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês, constructed in 1630 by the Roiz family, stands in the village square and receives many pilgrims each October.
Visitors can access the beach from Goa International Airport through taxis, buses, or auto-rickshaws, with a journey time of approximately 30 minutes.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices established in the mid-16th century, maintaining methods passed down through generations.
