Benaulim, South Goa

Located forty one kilometres from Panaji, this place is laced by greenery as much as it is by the Arabian Sea. As per Hindu mythology, an arrow shot by Lord Vishnu landed here. Hence the original name of this beach was Banavli (arrow). But the Portuguese who settled here changed it to its present name. Benaulim beach is the beach to be, when you just want to relax. One can just laze away day off soaking in the sun. It gives you the pleasure and satisfaction of being in Goa. A candle light dinner amidst the setting is an excellent add-on to the perfect vacation.
