Though I am a nature lover and I love being close to the nature. I usually make trips to hill stations to escape the summer heat of plains and rediscover my inner world and peace, but it is definitely sea that drives me crazy. The vastness of blue sea covered by blue sky really makes me feel insignificant. I can sit for hours just watching the motion of waves and contemplating about the depth if sea.

I have been plenty times to the popular beaches of India but still I feel to go there many more times. There seems to be no end to this desire. I feel to mention something about these popular beaches.

Anjuna Beach, Goa
With its fluorescent painted palm trees and full moon parties, Anjuna Beach, 8-km west of Mapusa, is one of the most popular beaches of Goa. Taking long walks under the moon on the silver sands of this beach is something that any visitor would love to do at Anjuna, beside the favourite pastime of watching the sun going down. Mark Joseph, an explorer by nature has jotted his beautiful moments spent on Anjuna and Calangute.

Calangute Beach, Goa
A 45 minute bus ride up to the coast from the city of Panjim bring one to Calangute, Goa's busiest and most commercialized resort, and the flagship of the state government's bid for a bigger slice of India's package-tourist pie.

Juhu Beach, Maharashtra
Located 18-km north of the city centre, it's a major beach site on the shores of Arabian Sea and is one of the posh localities of Mumbai where one can find the bungalows of the famous film personalities of Bollywood. Another traveler, Henry, has detailed his cherisable experience on Juhu beach with us.

Kovalam Beach, Kerala
The palm-fringed bays of Kovalam in secluded coconut groves, promise a relaxed stay. The unforgettable image of Kovalam is that of the coconut-palms-lined high rock promontory that cuddles the calm and wide expanse of the blue waters.

Gopalpur On Sea, Orissa
One of the most pristine beaches of Orissa, this small beach is a splendid retreat for sea worshippers, located about 16-km from Berhampur. Once a humming seaport, Gopalpur offers its visitors a slice of serenity in environs that are conducive to introspection and conviviality.
