Is it true that a lot of beaches in Goa are controlled by Whites where Indians are not allowed or encouraged?

Not at all

With your kind people, attitude and mentality it sure is going to be true soon. You have sold half the Goan beaches by thinking about a question as stupid as this.

I dont know whether you have been to Goa. However I would like to say this.

You may not be entirely wrong. While beaches in Goa are not controlled by whites, they do seem to have influenced the shacks and the eateries. They have lot of control over the hotels and and other such tourism places because they can be charged a higher fee and can be milked more. Indians ask too many questions and want to know where every paisa in the rupee goes. The whites calculate pounds n dollars and are very happy to pay a fraction of what they would spend back home. Besides they dont carry a calculator that often

You see the spending power and the tipping power of the whites have spoilt the vendors of all services in the beach side areas. They have subconsciously become like their slaves. So with high tips expected, their attitude towards the whites is much friendlier than towards fellow goans or fellow Indians.

So the whites are not to be blamed for this one bit. They are coming here to have a good time and are generous with their money.We should welcome them and encourage their stay

The problem is with the Goans and the Indians who are trying to please them at all cost to get more from them. So your assumption is a bit misplaced. It should be " have Goans and Indians allowed themselves to be greedy at the cost of a disservice to their own brethren?"

Remember, the whites are here for fun and frolic. We must have fun with them show our friendliness.

We must also register our protest with whosoever lacks in giving us service for the same amount that we both pay.

Hope your question is answered

People from all over the world come here to enjoy even Indians from different regions.No such barriers are there.Rather it is cosmopolitan.

No....what makes you say that?

Just because white people set-up business, it doesn't mean no one is allowed anywhere.

nageshanilayaprathama

Come on. Goa is no longer a colonial rule. In fact, I would like to bring your notice to a historical fact that Portuguese left India a long time back.

BEACHES OF NORTH GOA
Introduction

North Goa beyond the north of River Mandovi with a long stretch of Beaches namely Betim, Reis Magos, Sinquerim, Candolim, Calangute, Baga, Anjuna, Vagator, Chapora, Siolim, Chopdem, Morgim, Mandarem, Asvem, Arambol, Querim, and Terekol.
BETIM

Across the Mandovi River linking Panaji with the north goa beaches Betim is the fishing and boat-building village. There is a ferry that shuttles to Panaji's old steamer jetty. The village is inundated with traffic during day. Here you will find a small Sikh temple or Gurudwara, whose gleaming white Mogul domes and saffron pennant are visible from opposite shore.
REIS MAGOS

The coastal road veers inland to a small market crossroad.A Hindu tree shrine, 20 mts., before this marks the turning to Reis Magos, 3 K.M., west of Betim Bazaar. Reis Magos Church was built in 1555. Historians believe the original church was constructed on the ruins of an old Hindu temple and the bas-relief lion figures flanking the steps at the ends of the balustrades lend credence to the this theory, being a typical feature of Vijayanagar temple architecture in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Two viceroys of Portuguese are buried inside the church. The centrepiece of the church's elaborately carved and painted recedes, behind the high alter is a multicoloured wood relief showing the Three Wise Men - or Reis Magos, after whom the village is named . Each year this scene is re-enacted in the Festa dos Reis Magos held in the first week of January during Epiphany. Crowning the sheer-sided headland immediately above the church, Reis Magos fort was erected in 1551 to protect the narrowest point at the mouth of Mandovi estuary. These days the bastion surrounded by sturdy laterite wall studded with typically Portuguese turrets is used as a prison and not open to the public but you can climb up the steep slope to the ramparts for the view over the river.

SINQUERIM BEACH GOA

The first tourist beach of North Goa is also the site of Aguada Fort, one of the best preserved Portuguese coastal forts. West of Reis Magos, a long laterite Peninsula extends into the sea bringing the seven kilometers long Calangute beach to an abrupt end. Fort Aguada which crowns the rocky flattened top of the green headland is the largest and best preserved Portuguese bastion in Goa. Built in 1962 to guard the northern shores of the Mandovi estuary from the attack by Dutch and Maratha raiders, its name derives from the presence inside of freshwater springs-the first source of clear drinking water available to the ships arriving in Goa after long sea voyage from Lisbon. Now is the Goa's largest prison.

The fort can be reached by heading south past the Taj village towards Nerul and turn 1 K.M when you see a right lane striking uphill towards the woods. In 1970 this picturesque spot known as Sinquerim Beach was the first place in Goa to be singled out for upmarket tourism and to some extent that has continued even until today. Fort Aguada Beach Resort, one of the cluster of three Taj Group hotels, is also here. The other unusual feature of the fort is the four story Portuguese lighthouse erected in mid 1864 and the oldest of its kind in Asia. A New lighthouse outside the complex replaced the function of the original. Superseded by a modern lighthouse only erected in 1976, it is used to house the colossal bell salvaged from the ruins of the monastery of St.Augustus in Old Goa which now hangs in Panaji's Our Lady of Immaculate Conception. This beach is well known for water sports, as there are two or three water sports companies which operate from this beach.

CANDOLIM BEACH GOA

Candolim at the far southern end of Calangute beach is a surprisingly sedated resort. Now with the increase in tourism the beach has been slightly transformed, to some for the best, to others for the detriment. To the south of Candolim, along peninsula extends into the sea, bring the seven kilometre white sandy beach to an abrupt end, Aguada Fort, which crowns the rocky flattened top of the headland is the best preserved Portuguese bastion in Goa. On the north side of the fort, a rampart of red-brown laterite juts into the bay to from a jetty between two small sandy coves. This picturesque spot is Sinquerim Beach.

CALANGUTE BEACH GOA

A 45 mints. bus ride from the state capital, Calangute is Goa's busiest and most commercialised resort of the state. The Charter boom, combined with a huge increase in the number of Indian visitors, is burden on Calangut's infrastructure. Buses from Mapusa and Panaji pull in the market at the centre of Calangute. The beach is walkable distance from here. The road from the town to the beach is lined with Kashmiri -run handicraft, boutiques and Tibetian stalls selling
