Beachy state in India (3)

I believe the answer is:

goa

(Other definitions for goa that I've seen before include "part of subcontinent" , "Former Portuguese territory in India" , "State on west coast of India" , "Indian island state" , "Indian district" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
