| This
impossibly beautiful crescent cove in the far south of Goa is
so languid and balmy that even the water has only enough energy to
lap half-heartedly onto the beach. There's nothing to do here but
soak up the rays, and go for long walks paddling in the shallows,
so bring a friend, some factor 15 and a good book. There's only one
hotel, but it's possible to rent rooms in villagers' houses by asking
politely at the restaurants lining the beach. |
