Cabo de Rama Beach

Beautiful pristine beach, no building, not even a hut, no one selling anything to you. If you want to stay a few hours, remember to bring water, fruit .. However, there is a rescue service. The beach is not very long and extends between the ruins of the fort on the left and the rock formations that give it its name: the head and the body of a person lying down

This secluded beach in South Goa is stunningly beautiful! It's 30 Kms away from Madgaon. There's no direct connectivity by road, you need to park your vehicle on a rocky path and climb down a small clif. But when you actually enter the beach, it's beauty mesmerizes you. White sand and blue water surrounded by coconut trees makes this place nothing less than a foreign location. There's just one shack available here with limited menu. This Goan beauty is too good to be true.

We visited Palolem on 7th june,2019 and it was indeed a worth it experience.This place gives you the vibe of real Goa,even though the hubbub around is pretty much less than in north Goa.The journey greets you with mesmerising views of South Goa and Portugese architecture.À

Very nice place located on the seashore and breathtaking views from the top of hill and the Gopuram. The Gopuram(entrance) is 21 floor and we can go to 18th floor using the lift. There are 3-4 windows for enjoying the view of surrounding places. There is a big Shiva statue also just by the seaside. Beach is very close to this temple and have water sports available. The road is very good and is around 2 kms from Highway.

Vizag is a lovely city and always has been my favourite, this was my third trip to vizag and i visited this offbeat beach away from the city, the beach is isolated and offers a great view of the dolphin nose. You might have to change 2 buses from the main bus stand to reach there

Tarkarli Beach

Reviewed By VinodMohit

Reached from Mumbai to Kudal by train and connecting bus to Malvan which is about 30 km away. Another bus for Devbag which is about 10 km away.The name Tarkarli is derived from the river Karli which flows in the area. Tar means the river side. Every house here is involved directly or indirectly with tourism industry. Most families have built few rooms for the tourists to occupy- home stay. They prepare home food and serve to the tourists. Beach cottages plentiful. Here people are very good and helpful. Beach is neat and clean with sea water transparent. Hotels here want the customers to book food in advance and then they prepare for the order, there by serving you fresh food. Choice of food is generally limited. Few hotels like Coastal Galaxy has good food choices. One can enjoy water sports at Tsunami island which is reachable by ferries which charge about Rs 500 for the cruise. They take you around for half an hour's journey showing you the Dev sangam the mingling of sea and the river. Here on Tsunami island one can take various rides like Water skiing, banana ride, sofa ride etc for Rs 200 each or package of Rs 500 for three rides. There is also provision for para sailing and scuba diving for which charges are about Rs 800 and Rs 1000 respectively. Walk on the Devbaug beach is very pleasant. One can safely go in the water and enjoy neat and clean water. It's so transparent that you can see the sand below. Sunset scene here is magnificent. One can enjoy the sunrise scene at Tarkarli beach which is about 3 km from Devbaug. Here various camel and horse rides are available. Coconut trees are plentiful. Coconut water here is much sweeter than what one gets in Mumbai. Sindhudurg fort can be reached from Malvan. For reaching it, one has to take a small boat ride which charges Rs 90 per head. Rock garden at Malvan is nicely managed. It's worth a visit. Good time to visit is December January. At Malvan one can enjoy the local delicacy Malvan Khaja. It is vary tasty and has mild sweetness and ginger. Malvan fish dishes are great. Doelkars spices shop is popular and one can take home malvani spices and other delicacies.
