Attraction:
Among the very few beaches in India where you can escape far away from the madding crowd, Covla Beach is surely one of them.

Here the ambience is such that you can relax on the sand and enjoy the sun while your feet are awashed by waves from the Arabian Sea.
The food here like most beaches of Goa, is simply mouth watering. Our Lady of Mercy Church is another major attraction at Colva. Goa has a predominantly catholic community and on the third Monday of the month of October, the community celebrates the day with much fanfare. This is one the most popular feast of Goa that you will ever see.
