Discover a slice of Goa on this serene beach

SUMMER DESTINATION

It's summer time and the safety of the shallow waters of Hollant beach, close to Dabolim airport and Vasco city, are a big draw for tourists and locals, alike.

FRESH CATCH

Hollant is currently home to a small fishing community, and many of the locals head to this beach to buy fresh fish, straight out of the fishermen's nets.

SWEET WATER WELL

Among the many sweet water wells located in Hollant, the one close to the beach is still operational, with quite a few of the locals drawing water from it regularly.

BIT OF ADVENTURE

Though perfect for having a relaxing and enjoyable day, one can indulge in a bit of adventure by kayaking, thus adding to the experience.

RETRO FLAVOURS

Hungry? How about visiting one of the oldest beach shacks in the area, Copa Cabana, which has been serving authentic Goan cuisine since the 1950s. It was established by Sebastião Rodrigues, and is currently run by his son, Lourenco.

INTO THE PAST

A remnant of a fort wall lends Hollant an air of enchantment and intrigue.

TRULY GOAN

The only local gadda, Omsai, is a must visit if you want to enjoy the authentic Goan evening snacks such as ross omelette, kappa and kanda bhaji.
