Sinquerim beach is famous beach in Goa. This is Goa's southernmost taluka. Its capital is Chaudi. It is the gateway to many of Goa's southern tip beaches including Agonda, Palolem and Rajbhag. Far south of Goa is Canacona district - among the last parts of the territory to be included into the Novas Conquistas, and has retained a distinct Hindu feel. It was ceded to the Portuguese by the Raja of Sund in the Treaty of 1791. The area also boasts some of the state's most striking scenery. Set against a backdrop of the jungle-covered Sahyadri hills (extension of the Western Ghat range), a string of pearl-white caves and sweeping beaches briefs its indented coastline.
