I'm sure when you think of relaxation and taking time out from the usual rut....you would love the prospect of spending alone time with your loved one...where else would you love to go..but stretch yourself at a nice sandy beach...with a beautiful sunrise/sunset in the backdrop...chilling away with a drink in a shack...listening to your fav...number...slowly grooving with it...and just when you feel you have heard the number a several hundred times before, but its still got you going...and makes you feel nostalgic....that's the power of a good ambiance, mesmerizing music and of course, your beloved..hand in hand with ya...
Hmm....wondering what I'm getting at...well this is how one would describe an evening well spent at a beach...and where else in India would one love to let their hair loose, but at the wonderful beaches of none other than....Goa....where everyday is a Sunday...and time itself is Susegad....

For the ones who must have visited Goa for a million times, there is still some more to relish, still an unsung song yet to be sung, still a beautiful poetry waiting to be written, and so many unsaid words yet to be coined...all...not enough to even eulogize the mighty waters, the angelic sunrise, the ever so more entrancing sunset, the soft sand....the list goes on...and this is for the ones who yearn for seclusion...from the mad mad rush of the world...beach could be termed heavenly for them...
Well no matter one must have seen Goa many times and mostly when people think of Goa, it is usually the North of Goa...but for the connoisseurs of good times, sand, sun, beach, seclusion...wining and dining with your loved one...the place to be is...in South Goa...none other than the serene beaches of Canacona, one Palolem and other Agonda...
Palolem Beach is one of the best beaches across GOA, at the onset, one can easily notice the gigantic, magnificent coconut palms on one side, the lush green hills on the
other end. Situated on one end of the beach is Neptune point, where one if lucky, can get to see the Dolphins, up close and personal...And on the other end, there is the Dolphin Island for which one has to reach via a 5 min boat ride..If you are lucky, the Dolphins will swim next to you...(only if you are lucky....say luck raised to 100)....haha..well we at least spotted some afar...so not that completely out of luck....
Apart from enjoying ones' time at the beach, for local sight seeing, one can also enjoy bathing in a nearby waterfall, of course during the monsoons, when it looks magnificent..just approximately 10 kms away from Chawdi village in Cancona district...called the Tutsi Waterfall...

Since we did not have much time at our disposal and had to get back to Belgaum for Ganesh Chaturti celebrations, we decided to go via Agonda...and that's when we also came across Cabo De Rama, the popular Goan beach fort named after Lord Rama. This is one of the oldest forts in Goa, build here before the arrival of
the Portuguese. With the historic significance related with its name,
Cabo De Rama has a mythological legend. Lord Rama accompanied by his
wife Sita took refuge here during his exile from Ayodhya for 14 years.

So next time around, do take time out to explore Goa at your hearts content...as this magical land has the capacity to woo you every single time...and next time do not forget to visit the other end of Goa...where the scenery gets even better with the setting sun...and the nights are to remember...of course in the company of your loved one.....
Cheers!
