Just a few kilometres
away from Goa's capital Panaji, charming Candolim is
a canvas of quite a few bright shades. An unknown
beach till a few years back, Candolim now draws
tourists in large numbers. A straight beach without
the perennial beach curves, the scrub-covered dunes
of this white sandy beach enhances its beauty
further.
Accommodation and Connectivity
One of the reasons for Candolim's popularity is the
beach's proximity to Goa's capital Panaji. The beach
is at a distance of 12 kms from Panaji and 14 kms
from another important town Mapusa. One can travel
to Panaji and take a 10 minutes ride to Candolim.
Candolim offers a host of beach resorts. Apart from
the resorts, guest houses are also available at
different rates.

Water Sport Activities
For those tourists who like to indulge in some water
sporting activities, Candolim Beach is a great
choice. Parasailing, water skiing and wind surfing
are the favourite pastime of water sport lovers
here. The fun activities begin in the afternoon and
go on till sunset. Not to be left out are swimming,
beach volleyball and water polo.
The Aguda Fort
At the very end of seven kilometre long white sandy
Candolim, The Aguda Fort is Goa's best preserved
Portuguese legacy and a big hit among tourists.
Built in the year 1612 to protect the northern
shores by the Portuguese, the place has several
natural springs. A church and a lighthouse are also
nearer to the place.
The Quincy Corner
A nice place where one can listen to ambient music
in the midst of palm and coconut trees. There are
many nice sharks in Candolim- Bistro sun, sea-side,
pete's cafe, the oceanic and mama cecilia. All of
them are away from the crowd and sometimes nice
parties are also thrown for the tourists.
The Eating Joints
Along with nice music, one can taste Goan and
western delicacies at the many restaurants of
Candolim. Seafood is Goa's staple, but a few other
dishes including vegetarian ones may also be tried
out.
Once a mere picnic spot for Panaji residents,
Candolim has remarkably transformed into an ideal
beach for holidaying.
