About Benaulim Beach
Benaulim Beach is a tranquil haven located just south of the bustling Colva beach. It offers the same stunning white sands but with a fraction of the crowd, making it a favorite for travelers seeking a quiet spot to read, sunbathe, or swim. The beach is dotted with a few excellent shacks that serve some of the best fresh seafood in Goa. It is also a well-known spot for local fishermen and dolphin-watching excursions.
History
According to Hindu mythology, Benaulim (originally Banavali) is the place where the arrow of Lord Parashurama landed, creating the state of Goa. It's a place steeped in ancient legends as well as rich Indo-Portuguese heritage.
