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.
