Rocking Hammocks, sun beds and big umbrellas are a symbol of great relaxation.

During your holiday in Goa, you can enjoy the heavenly beauty of the state. As Goa is blessed with stunning coastline, it has number of sunny golden beaches to laze on. Besides enjoying the sun, you can go for all sorts of water sports here. Due to its image, most people perceive Goa as the place of "sun, sand and surf"; but Goa is more than that.

Water sports are very popular among both tourists and the locals here. Windsurfing is an adventure that many wouldn't risk to take up but those who do, love to feel the wind against their face and the spray of water cooling their heels. Windsurfing is a unique blend of surfing and sailing. One has to adapt oneself to the changing patterns of the wind and water. Thus a clear balance of strength of the surfer is a prerequisite for any surfing expedition.

Goan holidays are only partially about the beaches. It's indeed engaging and enjoyable to spend hours beside the mesmerizing seas but there's so much to be explored and be awed at if you walk into the small villages and towns. Infested all over with old buildings, edifices, monuments, forts and churches, a trip of this lovely state is a time-tu
er to the medieval times. Remnants of Portugal colonies can be seen in the form of cathedrals, forts and churches that have been standing there for some centuries as living testimonials of the state's historical glory.

And the historical significance is not the only attraction of a Goan holiday. Visitors are amazed yet again by the exotic flora and fauna that this tiny Indian state boasts of.
