Varca Beach Holidays
Varca's six-mile stretch of sand is one of the most beautiful beaches in South Goa. The resort is renowned for its pretty wooden fishing boats and palm-thatched houses belonging to the local fishermen. Holidays in Varca offer an oasis of tranquillity, far removed from North Goa's hectic party life. Varca's natural beauty combines fine white sands, grassy dunes and black lava rocks.
Cultural points of interest within Varca include the 17th-century Our Ladies of Glory Church. Those who want to explore further a field can hire bicycles and cycle along the coast. Alternatively, cruises along the River Sal are very popular and home to the bottlenose dolphin. Also nearby is Goa's commercial capital, Margoa, with its Portuguese architecture, bustling markets, and excellent transport connections.
Evenings on Varca Beach are spent sampling the locally caught seafood dishes at the many beach shacks. Those looking for a livelier atmosphere and a wider choice of facilities can travel two miles north to the popular tourist resort of Benaulim. Here visitors will find a wealth of restaurants and hotels lining the beachfront.
