    Hansa Beach, Goa. You were vacationing in Goa, where SBTF is being constructed in INS HANSA.

    Chandipur could be more likely considering the sea retreated too much from the shore

    That guy who said normandy has got my vote.

    Check out the houses, sparsely laid out along the beach and also have that typical european feel. Vehicles on the beach that look like they have a purpose for being there and mostly, NO LITTER[so this cannot be an Indian beach] :).

    You were absolutely on the button... no question about that.

    The reason you didn't get the prize was... there were at least two correct answers posted a few hours before your post!
