1. Why Go To Calangute Beach?
Goa Calangute beach is also called the 'Queen of Beaches' because the beauty you at find Calangute
beach in Goa cannot be found elsewhere. Under the shade of palm trees, bathes the Queen of Beaches-
Calangute. Goa's Calangute seems to be a distortion of the local vernacular word-'Koli-gutti', which
means land of fishermen. Some people connect it with Kalyangutti (village of art) or Konvallo-ghott
(strong pit of the coconut tree) because the village is full of coconut trees. With the advent of the
Portuguese, the word probably got distorted to Calangute, and has stuck till today. In a green semi-
circle, the villages of Arpora-Nagoa, Saligao and Candolim do their bit to enhance the divine beauty of
Calangute. There are picturesque agors (saltpans) at Agarvaddo, Maddavaddo is full of madd (coconut
trees), Dongorpur skirts a bottle-green hillock and Tivaivaddo laces the beach. In Gauravaddo lived the
gaudds or milkmen ran dairies.
