Goa:The quite and serene places to go

Goa is full of beaches but finding a serene beach in Goa is a tough task. I visited Goa in March this year. Though it was hot but nothing can stop the traveler in me. Moreover at this time the hotels are cheaper. I booked a flight from Delhi to Panaji international airport. From the airport we booked a cab to reach our Airbnb guest house. Ola and Uber does not work in Goa. To get cheaper ride you can book the cabs through Goamiles it is the only cab service app that works in Goa. Our airbnb was an ancestral home. It was beautifully maintained by the owner. The house was close to Anjuna beach. People who comes to party in Goa limit themselves to Baga beach, candolim and calagnute beach. Goa is far more better beyond these beaches. This article is basically about the must go places in Goa to satisfy the traveler in you.

1.Morjim Beach: Spectacular, serene and beautiful. This beach is not so crowded and moreover you will find foreigners here. The shacks are good and the ahack owners are really protective of their customers. They treat you very well. It is also one of the beaches famous for the turtles. Turtles come here for breeding.

2.Agonda beach: This beach is so vast and beautiful. Here also you will find mostly foreigners. This beach is in South Goa. If you are staying in North Goa then do plan to visit South Goa. South Goa is more serene and less crowded. We rode to south by our rented bike. The road after Panaji is covered with vast forest covers on both sides. According to me one should travel to South goa through bike and stay there to enjoy other nearby beaches. Agonda has many chambers near the beach to stay.

  1. Hollant beach: This is a very secluded beach. Very less crowded but amazingly beautiful. O git many pictures clicked here . The water level is moderated… The waves are minimal here . There are no shacks just a small restaurant near the beach.

  1. Reddy beach: This beach is must visit beach in North Goa. The beach is very isolated . Very few people come here. It is unexplored part of Goa . There are no shacks. Small restaurant is near the beach. The beach is very picturesque.

5.Bambolim beach: The way to reach this beach is very tricky. Google map does not have correct location for this beach. There is a small lane at the end of Hyatt hotel which leads you to this beach. This beach has no shacks. It is mainly filled by the people in the hotel. Look out for the sunset here. It is beautiful and mesmerizing.

6 Sirdao beach: You will find only locals on this beach playing volleyball . There is no one on this beach. You can go and enjoy the view there. There are no shacks .

7.Divar island: It is small island in Goa . You can reach there by a ferry. The ferry does not charge anything. The island has beautiful Portuguese houses . The houses are painted with bright colors and they are quite attractive. Fill the petrol before going to this island. There is no petrol pump there. Moreover if you forget to fill petrol you can get it from the shops there at a higher cost. The island has many beautiful churches. They are quite big and fascinating. You can roam about the island in your bike. The roads are well built. I found only one restaurant there which serves alcohol and food. There are many general store . The island is very quite. On a good weather day you can roam about the island enjoying the architecture.

PS: Don’t forget to have Goan fish thali

I have been to Goa 3 times. Stayed in a luxury resort. Had dinner in a star hotel facing the Mandovi river.

Rode the barges 9n the Mandovi river to reach the Bom Jesus church.

Enjoyed water sports.

Hell of a place for bars beaches bathing fish curry night clubs dance floors.

It is India’s Pattaya.
