Attractions
Swimming and Sunbath
A beach where the undercurrents are not strong and
jelly fishes absent, swimming has gained tremendous

leave behind sunbathing. So many tourists, specially
the ones from foreign soil, lay down on the
sparkling white sand under the Colva sky and just
relax .

for Colva package tours. The most happening night
spots of Colva remain open till late at night.

The gorgeous interiors consisting generally of small
tables, matching table-clothes, candles and smooth
music, the various Colva restaurants lined all along
the beach offer tasty seafood and other delicacies
to the tourist. A place with a bustling nightlife,
candle light dinners are very popular here. If that
isn't interesting, opting for dinner under the
moonlight would definitely have a cheering effect.
