If you look at a map of the state of Goa in India, you can clearly see its division into northern and southern parts. The same goes for the division of the local 40 magnificent beaches and the huge number of hotels.
This has been the case since the 1960s, when the northern part of Goa was taken over by hippies, and in the south began to rest couples with children. And today students prefer to vacation in the north, and the more affluent and respectable crowd in the south.
