Baga for me, yes, I know it's busy but I just love the atmosphere there, I like the baga river end as it's nice and calm, looking forward to visiting Palolem on our next visit.

I like this shack for the friendly staff and nice atmosphere but i also like a shack on manderim beach - forgot the name but it was really quiet and peaceful.

What's all the fuss about Coco Beach?????
Every time we got in a taxi they tried to get us to go there.
When the lads went to the cricket match last Monday, we girls decided to give it a go and were looking forward to a nice relaxing day in what we thought was 'paradise'.
Well you can keep it!
Because of it's location in a sheltered bay, there's not a breath of a breeze, not a ripple in the sea, no soft sand, very shingley, and access to the sea is limited by the number of fishing boats moored there.
The sun beds looked like old doctors examination couches and were that high that you could do yourself an injury getting on, or worse, falling off them.
Also spent a day on Candolim beach, again not very impressed. There was lots of rubbish at the sea edge, not just natural flotsom/jetsom, but lots of plastic water bottles etc, but more worrying were the 5 hypodermic syringes we counted while walking along the beach.
And that huge,rusty ship, WHAT AN EYESORE!!!
Give me Baga beach anyday, I know the beach sellers can be a pain in the proverbial but we love it.

Our favourite beach is Zolar (sp?) in tamborim South Goa. There are only 2 beach shacks with 10 sunbeds to each. no beach sellers. The food in the shacks is good and the kings are cold. The undercurrent in the sea is quite strong but the dolphins pass by a couple of times a day and if your interest is bridwatching then the surrounding area is good.

The last time we were there we all had a coconut throwing competition with the first and only prize being a bottle of kings (small things....).

Nice beach - nice atmosphere.

Bogmalo beach - crescent shaped bay, rock pools, can spot a dolphin occassionally, no beach sellers, good restaurants. Always very quiet which is why I guess that no-one else will mention it

I love lots of the beaches for different reasons and have been to many,but the quietest beach by far is 'Querim Beach' only 1 shack and miles of sand and no other tourists while we were there. Also great views on the way!

Mandrem Beach

La Plage at Mandrem - the best shack in Goa, in my opinion. 8)

La Plage - owned by the same guys who also own Le Restaurant Francais.
They have now started serving dinner this year.

That's my Majorda picture - it's at the north end of the beach that goes all the way down to Mobor. It's such a long beach that you're bound to find a quiet spot somewhere.

It gets busy at places like Colva, Varca and Cavelossim. :wink:

The shack was right near the bridge to the beach (it was like going across the 'Bushtucker' bridge on I'm a Celebrity....!! ). Can't remember what it was called, it was run by a gentleman called Philip. Will definatley be


Could this be "The End of the World" shack? :roll:
