Candolim Beach in Goa Candolim Beach In Goa A view of Candolim Beach in Goa Candolim Beach is the second largest beach in Goa. A continuation of the Calangute beach, it stretches lazily with its beautiful scrub-covered dunes. These dunes attract a lot of tourists every year, and there is an endless number of things to do, once you arrive at the beach- water sports, parasailing, windsurfing, water-skiing and lots more. For those who are not fond of adventure sports, there is always fishing. Tourists can also enjoy sea excursions where they are taken far into the sea from where perfect sunset shots can be captured. Renowned for its quiet, Candolim is one of the most serene beaches of the state. Its environment helps sustain schools of fish and makes it a treasure spot for fishing. Compared to other beaches like Calangute, Candolim has fewer visitors on its shores, which makes it a gem for lovers of pristine nature. Nightlife on the beach too, is less raucous. As Candolim’s long, narrow beach joins the smaller Sinquerim Beach on its south, a series of beach shacks offering sun beds with shade come into view. This area is also filled with a string of Candolim Beach Huts with decent facilities that are also easy on the pocket. Even though, Candolim has its fair share of beach-related excitement, the most recent buzz was not around its many water sports, but around the presence of a 240-meter long-ore carrier called the River Princess that ran aground off the Candolim-Sinquerim coast on June 2000. For over 11 years, the Government did not remove the carrier as it continued to softly rust away, but it did lead to widespread curiosity on River Princess. Tourists have also been known to swim out to sea in order to take photos with the Princess. After more than a decade of campaigning by locals, the laborious process of removing the rusting ship has begun. The visual taint caused by the industrial relic is now almost gone and the beach is back to its pristine beauty. The greatest attraction of Candolim Beach is Fort Aguada. Built in 1612 by the Portuguese in order to prevent invasion by the Dutch colonizers and Maratha rulers, this majestic piece of architecture stands tall even today, as it looks over the mouth of the Mandovi River. Due to the abundance of spring water from the hillside, the Fort became a pit-stop for ships arriving from Portugal. This is how the Fort got its name (‘Agua’ means ‘water’). The steps of the Fort’s main courtyard lead down to vast underground water tanks, which had the ability to hold about 10 million liters of drinking water. The Aguada Fort also hosts the old Portuguese Lighthouse, built in 1864. This once housed Church of St. Augustine’s Great Bell before it was transported to the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Panaji. This lighthouse is the oldest of its kind in Asia, and visitors can occasionally climb up its spiral staircase to enjoy the breathtaking view from the top. A little below the Fort is Goa’s largest prison, Fort Aguada Jail, which was built on the site that once hosted the citadel. The road to the Jail consists of a weirdly wonderful path through tycoon Jimmy Gazdar’s beautiful compound. Goan architect, Gerard De Cunha designed this reclusive palace that is carefully guarded by a froth of fountains, foliage and follies. As you walk a little east of Fort Aguada, your eyes are treated to a magnificent Church of St. Lawrence. Established in 1643, the Church was meant to honor the patron saint of sailors, St. Lawrence. Visitors return time and again to check out the image of the patron saint standing on the gilded reredos, holding one model ship. A little inwards into the village, the spirit of Goan culture is brought to life by Candolim’s National Tourism Award winning project, ‘Calizz’, which in Konkani, means ‘Heart’. A 45-minute tour conducted by local historians takes travelers through the state’s rich cultural history with illuminating insights that fill the compound with transplanted traditional Goan houses in their authentic interiors. This is one tour, for which you will not need a map. You may also like to read about the The Best Beaches in Goa . Candolim Beach Map Facts about Candolim Beach Candolim is credited as the birthplace of the Catholic monk, Abbé Faria, who was a pioneer in hypnotism studies and a revolutionary who attacked the French Convention, taking an active part in its fall. He was also one of the three major priests responsible for the Conspiracy of the Pintos, or, the Conspiracy of Goa, which was the first historical rebellion against Portuguese rule of Goa in 1787. Abbé Faria has been immortalized as the character of the imprisoned mad monk in Alexandre Dumas’s novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. In the late 16th century, Candolim became the first village in Bardez that was entirely converted to Christianity by the Franciscans.

  • Anjuna Beach, Goa
    Anjuna Beach, Goa The Beach at Anjuna is famous for its night parties and water sports A charming façade of the quaint blue sea on one side and picturesque palm trees on the other, shelters the sunset sands of Anjuna Beach. The powdered white sands lined with red laterite rocks give the beach its characteristic rocky formation. This formation, called the Ozran juts out into the Arabian Sea and is known as the Jewel of Anjuna. It lies between the Anjuna Beach and the Vagator Beach. For years, this formation has attracted the eyes of travelers and geologists alike. Anjuna, in spite of being just a seaside village continues to attract the attention of travelers even today, not just because of its elegant rock formation but also its history. The 1950s and 60s saw the liberating Hippie Movement that freed Western youngsters from the shackles of narrow capitalism and encouraged them to be one with nature and self. Anjuna was one of the key places where this movement gained prominence. History records that this village was first discovered by a group of these Hippie travelers that included Eight Finger Eddie, among others. Rave parties with trance music filled the serene beach air at night while days were spent tripping on drugs and alcohol. Other beaches of Goa soon followed suit. The times have since passed, but even now Anjuna is one of the most popular party spots in the world. Each year, foreigners from round the world come over to this small seaside village for its full moon parties. Trance music coupled with rave parties dominate the week of Christmas to New Year, beckoning the traveler to all sorts of forbidden pleasures.

  • Coastal Property Resources in Goa – Alarming Trends
    Coastal Property Resources in Goa – Alarming Trends Dr. Sairam Bhat Assistant Professor of Law, National Law School of India University, Bangalore and Ms. Smita Srivastava Sr. Lecturer, Saraswath College, Maupsa, Goa If you want a piece of Goa's coastline, follow three simple steps. Just grab the land, build on it(after making pretences that your structures are temporary) and then forget it. 1 Introduction Tourism in Goa has largely been and still remains ‘Beach tourism’. The beaches in Goa have been exploited to the hilt. Over 90% of domestic tourists and 99% of international tourists visit and reside along the beach front. 2 The packaging of Goa as a major international tourist destination is still actively underway, even though the number of tourists visiting Goa has exceeded the region’s carrying capacity, bringing about a steady and relentless degradation of the natural environment as well as a deterioration of the social and cultural fabric. Tourism, now is Goa’s Primary Industry. It handles 12% of all foreign tourist arrivals in India. Goa receives more tourists per annum than its total residential population (refer T.No.1, as per govt. sources, the population of Goa for the year 08-09 was 13.48 lakhs)3 The decisive issue facing any tourism destination is the benefit – cost ratio. This has never been calculated in the State. Destruction of the environment on the scale occurring in Goa can only be justified if the returns from any industry are such that they lead to enhancement of prosperity, provision of employment and reduction of poverty levels, since poverty is described as the greatest threat to environmental protection.
