From the late sixties,visitors to Goa have headed for the two main beach strips: Calangute in the north and Colva in south Goa. These are the best known and in fact part of longer, continuous beaches.
Calangute for example is towards the northern end of the five kilometre stretch that starts at Fort Aguada and includes Sinquerim, Candolim, then Calangute and Baga.
Similarly, Colva is in the centre of the 20-km southern stretch, the longest in Goa, which starts from Velsao and ends at Mobor, embracing several village names along the way.
