Best Time to Visit:
Benaulim Beach can be reached any time throughout the year.
About The Beach:
When you travel to Goa don't miss the opportunity to visit Benaulim Beach located less than 2 km south of Colva Beach. Benaulim is more peaceful and serene than Colva and the best thing about the place is that it is still rather undiscovered by domestic tourists even though it is a fishing beach. Just out of site beyond the palm trees is the Benaulim village. One wouldn't generally expect a beach to have strings of mythology attached to it but Benaulim is one beach that does.
Legend has it that this is the place where an arrow shot by Lord Parshuram, sixth incarnation of Vishnu landed. The arrow shifted back the hills hence forming the Konkan. The place was hence named Banavli (ban means arrow) and later got corrupted to Benaulim by Portuguese. The place is also special for Christians as it's the birth place of the venerable Father Joseph Vaz. If you wish to be at some place close to nature and totally untouched, than Benaulim is the place for you. The prettiest thing about Benaulim is its nightlife and still have your solitude. It is one of the famous fishing spots of Goa.
