Your Goa Beach Guide To The Best Beaches Of Goa

Calangute Beach

Want to enjoy a rejuvenating sunbathing session while lying on a comfortable lounger or indulge in exciting water sports? Head straight to one of the most visited beaches in Goa, Calangute Beach. Popularised by the hippies in the 60s, this beach is a mass favourite of international tourists.

Watersports available on the beach include jet-skiing and parasailing. Sign-up for a banana boat ride, if you want to enjoy a water ride with your family. If you’re hungry after a fun bout of water sports, gorge on some fresh seafood at Aggie’s, one of the famous shacks on the beach.

Baga Beach

Adjacent to Calangute Beach, this beach is less crowded and more picturesque. The beach is named after the Baga Creek, which empties into the sea near the north end of the beach. From extreme water sports to fine food and wine, Baga Beach is popular for its attractive amenities.

Well known for its commercial nightlife, the beach is home to some of the best beach shacks in Goa such as Tito’s, Britto’s, and Cafe Mambo. If you’re keen on having a beautiful underwater experience, you can also sign up for snorkelling and scuba diving here.

Palolem Beach

Where the beaches of North Goa are lively and filled with people, the southern beaches are more peaceful, untouched, and aesthetically pleasing. One such beach in South Goa is Palolem.

Filled with scenic rocks, shady palm trees, and soft white sand, this stunning beach is a perfect place to enjoy a starry evening by a bonfire with your loved ones.

The beach is also popular for hosting silent noise parties, which don’t disturb the serenity of the beach. As the beach is getting busier with each passing year, it’s recommended that you explore Palolem’s beauty while it’s still unspoilt.

Arambol Beach

Surrounded by rocky cliffs on two sides, this 16 km long north-Goan beach is relatively unexplored and truly stunning. Arambol Beach is a traditional fisherman village, which has a Bohemian feel.

The beach is a much-favoured spot for water sports like paragliding and kitesurfing and is popular among tourists for its attractive bays, one of which is the sweet water lake at Paliem.

Fed by hot springs and sulphurous mud, the lake is quite a favourite with hippies who love mud baths. Known as one of the best beaches in Goa, Arambol also has a rich music scene and tons of shopping options.

Vagator Beach

Set amidst the cliffs with soft and white sand, Vagator Beach offers stellar sunset views. An ideal location to relax, it boasts of long stretches filled with coconut and palm trees. The nearby Chapora Fort is a popular spot for tourists and photographers, as it offers breathtaking views of the beautiful beach.
