BEACHES
5000
miles of endless beaches provide the core of India's coastline. Foremost is Goa,
a short flight from Mumbai on the western coast set against a century's old
Portuguese influence.
In
southern India, the Kovalam beach resort provides an excellent beach holiday. On
the eastern coast is Mahabalipuram, a short drive away from Chennai and at Puri
in Orissa, some excellent beach facilities have been set-up.
These
beaches are never too far away from the rich cultural diversity of the country.
Churches and temples form an exciting, unique backdrop. Festivals are typically
Indian and the food and gaiety are peculiar to each different region. Some of
these resorts now have excellent water sports facilities. From the simple
pleasures of the water scooter and motor racing to more intricate sports like
scuba diving and para-sailing.
The
islands of Lakshadweep and Andamans provide controlled tourism where facilities
are limited but nature as yet retains its original glory.
