Where the river meets the sea...

It was fantastic to see the river meet the sea at Cola beach against the setting sun. In fact, it is this very river that gives a unique charisma to the Cola beach.


The small river splits this beach into two nearly equal parts. For the sake of tourism, the river has been blocked at one end and that forms a pool. When it meets the sea, it is a small stream that moves silently over the beach sand only to be splashed around by the rowdy waves.

 
It is quite an experience to see this union of fresh and saline water. The soft rays of the evening sun added a golden glow to this entire setting making this union of water bodies a very beautiful sight.


Cola beach is one of South Goa’s more remote and private beaches. It offers both a backwater and a beach feel. It is situated about 10 kilometres from Agonda beach and about 15 kilometres from Palolem.
