3. Goa , my favourite destination is full of beaches around. North Goa is more famous for water activities, those who want to enjoy night life. South Goa is more to do with people who want to relax in quiet atmosphere while enjoying luxury in hotels. Best time to visit is from October till March. Beautiful beaches such as Pallolim, Anjuna beach, Bags beach, Cavelossim are worth visiting.

Goa

4. Diu is another small beach destination which is very neat and clean having beaches like Ghoghla beach, Nagoa beach, Jallandhar beach, Chakratirth beach, Gomtimata beach. Nagoa beach is very famous and has many resorts around it. Ghoghla beach has serene views with clear sand and only a few resorts around it. Diu is very beautiful. I loved the way each crossing had its circle beautified and decorated. The Diu fort and Jail is worth visiting.
