A very secluded beach, unexplored by tourists, without hotels and cafes. You can drop in to check as part of the study of South Goa.

A popular and huge beach about 10 kilometers long.
big beach quite deserted. But at the same time, there is a categorical lack of quality hotels at adequate prices.

If you are going to Goa for the sea and beaches, do not miss this article. I will tell you about all the beaches of North Goa, share their characteristics, location on the map, personal photos and videos and my opinion about each beach, if you are interested. The opinion is subjective. Goa is different for everyone.
12 beaches of North Goa - review, photo, video
Kerim Beach - the northernmost beach
There are no palm trees on Kerim Beach. Coniferous trees grow there, which create an unusual mystical landscape on the beach. Plus sparsely populated, light sand and green deep sea. Kerim Beach is mesmerizing. Only a complete introvert and a desperate lover of solitude and peace can stay there for a long time.
There are a couple of cafes on Kerim Beach, it is easy to find guest houses nearby. For shopping and entertainment, it is better to go to neighboring Arambol.
The sea on Kerim is beautiful, but dangerous. Waves often, depth starts immediately. Not the most the best place for holidays with young children.
Kalacha Beach - Beach of the Beatles and Sweet Lake
Kalacha Beach is famous for its Sweet Lake, unusual landscape, large stones in the sea and a banyan tree under which the Beatles smoked and meditated. There are serious doubts about the latter fact. But the rest is all right. And the landscape, and the lake, and beauty.
On the beach there is a cafe, several bungalows and a small market.
The sea is different - when there are big waves, and when - quiet and smooth.
Arambol - a beach of yogis, enlightened and found themselves
The most controversial beach in North Goa is Arambol. The first time I came to Goa, I fell in love with Arambol. AT last time he disappointed me.
As for the beach and the sea itself, Arambol is unusually beautiful. A long and wide sandy beach, a long entry into the sea, the blue color of the water merging with the sky - it takes your breath away.
The village of Arambol has many shops, guest houses, hotels, cafes and restaurants. Prices for everything are higher than the average for North Goa.
Arambol is good for families with children - the sea is so beautiful, there is infrastructure, parties of mothers with babies and even sour cream in stores.
Arambol is good for those who like to go into the astral plane with the help of special means. It's easy to find a hangout and everything else.
Arambol is good for creative people, for yogis, for those who are looking for themselves.
Mandrem - the beach of glamorous scum
Mandrem goes after Arambol. The same sea and the same beach line. Real hotels and show-off restaurants have been built in Mandrem. You can even meet people in white pants and hats there.
Prices in Mandrem are not lower than in Arambol. Many Russians. Few European pensioners. Quiet, calm, imposing.
Ashvem - the most beautiful beach in North Goa
It is impossible to describe in words why Ashvem is better than neighboring beaches. But it is definitely different from the rest of the North Goa beaches. Either the air there is different, or the wind, or the current brings mysticism and the desire to fly. There are few shacks and bungalows on the beach itself. And this is probably why the slightly deserted beach of Ashvem is fascinating.
My favorite place in North Goa by far.
Morjim - the most pontoon and expensive beach
The Russian village and all that. There, the cult director Pyotr Buslov came up with the idea to make the film “Motherland” about Russians in Goa. Buslov lived in Goa, in Morjim for several seasons, so he studied the theme of the film perfectly.
The sea in Morjim is like in Arambol. Lots of party places, lots of guest houses and lots of Russians.
Vagator - the beach of Shiva and sacred cows
The second beach in my personal top of North Goa beaches. Moreover, Vagator and Ashvem are almost on the same level. Although externally the beaches are different.
Black stones scattered in disorder along the beach create a fantastic landscape. Cows love this place too. And on Vagator, be sure to find the famous face of Shiva.
Anjuna - the beach of the last hippies
Anjuna is a favorite place for party-goers, young and old. The famous market days take place here, when the Flea Market is open on Wednesdays. Here, by the sea, songs ring from coastal cafes, here they break away and forget all the sorrows and hardships of the cold homeland.
I don't like the sea in Anjuna - a lot of stones, some kind of algae. But you can find a place to swim if you wish.
Baga is the most civilized beach in North Goa
Baga is a village for glamorous vacationers, lovers of nightclubs and expensive cafes. Prices are the highest in all of North Goa.
The beach is different from the beaches of Arambol or Mandrem. The sand here is yellow, the sea is deep. In Baga, on one side of the beach, there is a cape and a river along the cape. Thanks to this cape, big waves almost none in Bug. Swimming is comfortable and fun, even when there are huge waves in neighboring Calangute and Candolim.
Calangute is the most visited beach in North Goa
Calangute never sleeps! It's fun, partyy and relaxed at the same time. This is the favorite beach of European pensioners. There are enough of our bags here too. Among independent tourists Calangute is not particularly honored.
Calangute has the most shops, supermarkets, cafes, expensive hotels and cheap guest houses.
The sea is deep almost immediately, the sand on the beach is yellow and loose.
Candolim - the most convenient beach
Candolim is similar to Calangute. The same beach line, the same sea, the same guest houses, the same pensioners. There are no problems in choosing accommodation, with renting a bike, with local street food, with pizza or a burger, with Tibetan cuisine, with pharmacies. Internet in Candolim and Calangute is the best among all places in North Goa.
