Beach gatherings promote creativity, social bonds, and folklore appreciation.
Goa has implemented Seaside Storytelling Circles, encouraging tourists and locals to narrate personal anecdotes and local folklore on the beach. According to Hindustan Times, participants gather around bonfires or shaded huts to engage in creative expression.
Visitors report enhanced enjoyment, community bonding, and improved communication skills. Critics question the format’s scalability, but facilitators emphasize cultural exchange, tourism enrichment, and playful entertainment. Future plans include themed storytelling nights and collaborative story chains spanning multiple beaches.
