The Beach

Candolim Beach is a part of a long stretch of beach coastline along the Arabian Sea that begins at Fort Aguada and ends at Chapora Beach. Candolim beach is less crowded and quite peaceful, as compared to Anjuna or Calangute. Though you will find tourists strolling by the shore of the Candolim beach, you can still find some quiet and relaxing places for yourself. Candolim is the best beach if you want solitude from the hustle and bustle of Aguada though not expecting too much of facilities. There is good food and long and straight beach backed by scrub-covered dunes with little shelter, popular with package tourists. Candolim is very quite, and this is due to the fact that there aren’t resorts all around the beach.

Candolim is also the birth place of Abbe Faria. Abbe Faria is considered to be one of the Great Goan Freedom Fighters and also the Father of Hypnotism.
