Palolem Beach

Dinesh Baga is in the state of Goa, on the west coast of India. To many people Baga is an extension of the adjoining town of Calangute and nobody seems to be sure where one ends and the other begins. Calangute (and the area around it, Sinquerim, Baga, Candolim) in the northern section of central Goa is where tourism all started for Goa. From the late Sixties, this was the spot where the flower-children descended.

Goa beaches are one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - just the perfect background settings to take pictures. The beauty of these beaches is really enchanting.
