Hidden Beach In Canaguinim

 

Goa is one little gem in the Indian subcontinent that has no other place quite like it. The outstanding beauty of this place is attributed to the impeccable amalgamation of the Indian and Portuguese cultures, blessed in a setting of the impeccable nature. The perfection of the place starts with the mention of the outstanding infrastructure and its maintenance, but the real climax of its beauty unfolds with the mention of the beaches. To witness the best beaches in Goa, you have to look deeper than the apparent view of the hidden or secluded beaches. These are the beaches that truly transform your view of the place and help you experience nature at its best.

One of such hidden beauty of Goa is located in a place called Canaguinim. Now if you google you will find pics and videos of the main canaguinim beach but the beach of which I will be telling you isn’t the main beach or the well know beach this beach is on the Hidden side of Canaguinim beach. One of the most understated and secluded beaches in Goa is the Canaguinim beach, this beach offers the most picturesque views comprising of warm waters of Arabian Sea, the pristine golden sand and the lush green vegetation. The sheer lack of tourists to this beach has led to absence of even the basic facilities on the beach making the trust form of nature its strongest selling point, this beach lies south of the magnificent Betul beach. Though the total stretch of the beach is much smaller than its famous cousins, it is the beautiful combination of greenery, crystal clear waters and a calm, pristine beach, which gives it a silvery edge over the others. There are no shacks around the beach and very little sign of life besides the waves. Quite the perfect place to drive down with your tent, camp fire and a barbeque set. Read and swim

by the day and sit by the fire at night as you enjoy some much-needed quality time with each other. This specific hidden beach is not easy to find as the entrance doesn’t look like an entrance to a beach that we normally see as it’s hidden behind a private human settlement and before we enter that settlement there is a board saying tourists not allowed as the villagers believe to protect its natural beauty, we got to know about that place by luck , we met some Family that had come to that place for picnic, they were so hospitable, that they were offering me and my friend fresh orange juice and some snacks that they had made and they also accompanied us , they also showed us around . We walked quite a while saw some birds and the strong waves hitting the rocks at the shore which created a site worth viewing as the tiny droplets of water from the waves felt like sprinkles hitting your face which felt quite refreshing and amazing. The rocks which gave the cave like structure was quite a good site for photography. The only flaw of this place is that due to pollution in  water there were little plastic bottles which entered the shore due to the waves which flushes back the garbage that humans throw into the sea . I am really sorry as I won't reveal the exact location as I would like to keep this place hidden and preserve its natural beauty .By chance if you ever reach there ,don't forget to visit, the local fishermen community here, It's fun to watch them as they string their nets and fish traditionally.

The experience of visiting this place is the best experience anyone ever feel .

Pebble Beach

  Pebble Beach one of the most stunning hidden beaches in South Goa located inside the famous Cabo de Rama fort at Canacona which is an hour about from Margoa. This place is a serene beauty having a unique and perfect panoramic view from the top of the hill with micro to massive sized pebbles and cuts rocks.   In other words, an extensive view that will literarily blow your mind off because of its own charm. The uneven stone stairs will take you to the most secluded beach inside the fort. The trip to this location has a very steep way down and uneven stony stairs to the beach thereby making it risky at times. Therefore, this place is not recommended for kids and elderly family members.

It’s a short trek consisting of 80-90 stairs and takes 10 minutes. The beach is covered by pebbles of different shapes and sizes, making this rocky beac...

Butterfly Beach

 Butterfly Beach is laden with beautiful white sand and clear waters. You will find many rocks here. Probably amongst the most picturesque beaches in the world, this beach offers dolphin play and a beautiful sunset. Due to the dense forests, you can access the beach by mud road or  can only get there by a  trek through the forest or from by a boat ride from Palolem beach.There are no restaurants or any other tourist facilities on this beach.  As my personal experience i had gone to butterfly beach on two wheeler vehicle with couple of my friends, we had travelled from the road which goes to cancona and the rosd was very narrow and small as we had two wheeler it made it more easier to travel , from the main ghat road there was one steep right turn which goes to leopard valley ie which straight goes to butterfly beach , we took that road and travelled for almost 15-20 mins the road was completely made of mud and small rocks which is suitable for off-roading vehicles su...

Betul is at the southernmost tip of the 27 kilometers long continuous shoreline that extends from Vasco da Gama to the Sal River. The stretch of sand comes to an end at the confluence of the Sal River and the Arabian Sea at Betul. Immediately north of Betul is Mobor, followed by the popular Cavelossim beach. The stunning Betul fort is on the opposite bank of the river, offering panoramic views of the sea, the coastline, river, and the countryside.
