Surreal Beauty of Betalbatim Beach in Goa

Goa Betalbatim Beach

In spite of my visit to Goa quite a few years back, the memory of the pristine blue water of Arabian Sea and the picturesque Goa beaches, each unique in its appearance, are so fresh that it seems I visited just a few days back. I cannot stop but continue describing the natural beauty, when it is about Goa; the reason being my unconditional love for beach destination along with the surreal beauty of these Arabian Sea beaches, which is simply irresistible.


While gazing lazily through the pictures in Pictures India, I was amazed at the picture of Betalbatim Beach in the image gallery. It was an exact representation of the picture, which I had in mind. Before I saw the image, I used to repent for not being able to capture the magic of Betalbatim Beach, in my own camera. Though less talk about in respect to other Goa beaches, Betalbatim has its own seductive beauty.


I did not know much about Betalbatim Beach, and just thought of visiting it once. It was just like any other beach, before the magical show of sunset began. The experience was simply engrossing. Suns rays started playing with the cerulean water of the Arabian Sea thereby changing its colors to nearly every possible hues of a painter’s palate. It won’t be a bit of exaggeration if I say that it was a dream sequence, until the sun bid farewell, allowing the moon to dominate over the sky. I still treasure the beauty of nature in that small but alluring beach of Goa.
