Agonda Beach

Location : Canacona taluka, South Goa district

Ideal Time to Visit : October to February

Highlights : Secluded beach, Cabo da Rama fort

Sprawling over a stretch of three kilometres of golden sand, the Agonda beach is a haven for the loners, the ones always carving for solitude. Virtually deserted all the time, one can enjoy complete seclusion in the Agonda beach. Fringed with a shady curtain of lovely palm trees, one will have only the seas and the sand for company here.

The all prevailing solitude is augmented by a soothing silence, intermittently broken by the crashing of roaring sea waves. Unlike other beaches in Goa, there is a conspicuous absence of the customary souvenir shops and food stalls. Adventurous souls looking for some nocturnal adventure can hire a tent and camp for the night.

The nearby Cabo da Rama fort is a major attraction for tourists descending on Agonda beach. The fort, now in a state of ruins, houses the beautiful church of Santo Antonio. The village of Agonda is typical of a small fishing village and is surrounded by about 120 acres of forest.

How to Reach
After reaching the Agonda village by bus from Chaudi, main town of Canacona, one can hire motorcycle taxis to reach the Agonda beach.
