Right adjacent to Fort Aguada is Sinquerim beach. This beach comes at 1st of the list of beaches of Goa according to my own route.
We came down to the beach from the Aguada fort. This beach is famous for a picturesque, calm environment, water sports. The coconut trees were covering the serene blue water like a scarf.

If you have to pick the most happening beach in Goa you are bound to select this one. The green high mountain works like a backdrop for this picturesque beach. This beach is located in north Goa adjacent to Calangute beach. The Baga river merges the sea in the north of the beach.

Most of the famous hotels, Night clubs, casinos, pubs are located here. Here are a lot of things to do after sunset. You can go to a shake and enjoy candlelight dinner. Total Baga is decorated with candles and led like a bride at night.


Baga is the most famous among the beaches of Goa. I enjoyed parasailing, speed boats, jet ski, banana riding, bumper ride, kayaking here. It was thrilling. All water sports come in a package of Rs 2500 for one person. Or you can choose an individual one according to your choice. Every ride will cost nearly Rs 500.
If you don't like watersports take a bed under the umbrella and enjoy the waves. The beach is very crowded. Again it switches to party mood as the sun sets down. If you don't like the atmosphere better move to Anjuna or Arambol beaches for solitude.

#3. Calangute Beach

Calangute is called the Queen of beaches. The Zhou tree, shrub-covered golden beach is as beautiful as a virgin woman. This beach is sandwiched between Candolim and Baga beach. It has Baga beach in the north and Candolim in the south.
This also has a white sand shore almost like Baga. But not stony in nature. You can enjoy swimming here in the sea. The sunset view is marvelous from Calangute. The beach is also crowded indeed like Baga.


This beach is perfect if you want to enjoy it with your family. Unlike Baga, there are few shakes and clubs. If you are looking for a peaceful family beach this is your destination. This beach is 4 km long. It came to limelight for its calm golden beach in 1960. At that time it was a small village of local fishermen. It is overcrowded now.

Timings: All Time 24 hours
