Candolim Beach |
|
|
Candolim beach is a quiet stretch of sandy beach, filled with scrub-covered sand dunes on one side and the turquoise blue waters of the Arabian Sea, on the other. Lying north of Fort Aguada, a Portuguese fort built in 1612, Candolim beach is a favorite with those who want to escape the crowd and the commercialization of Anjuna and Calangute beach. The Calangute beach is one of the busiest commercial centers of Goa, lying right next to the Candolim beach. With the village center being apparently missing at Candolim beach, the latter becomes a quiet haven for those looking for solitude by the Sea. At the same time, there are many opportunities for the more adventurous visitors, who are looking for adventure sports. Thus, there is something for every body at the Candolim beach. Whether solitude or adventure you seek!
