The beach shack has been taken over by new people. The drinks are well priced and the food is delicious. They also now offer a few sun beds and umbrellas. There is a toilet but remember your hand sanitiser!

This is another beautiful stretch beach situated along the South Goan coastline and is between Gonsua and Betalbatim Beaches with Colva further along the Coast.
There is only one Beach Shack here, Amri's Sunset Beach Shack, it has a handful of sunbeds and umbrellas, that is all that is it. There is a lifeguard on duty.
Occasionally the fishermen beach their boats on the sand. Not much else happens here apart from the Arabian Sea lapping up on the beach. Dolphins have been spotted swimming by out at sea. A variety of birds also visit from time to time.
So peaceful and tranquil here, a delight to visit and enjoy this beautiful place.
It is very pleasant to take a gentle stroll along the watefront from Gonsua Beach, where we were based, to here, the return walk takes about 20 minutes.
The good news is that the Beach Cleaners patrol the Beaches every day and the Beaches are maintained well and are very clean.

Reviewed By John D - Liverpool, United Kingdom
We were staying at Sernabatim, and got a Taxi Cavelossim for a look around and then our driver took us to the beach.
The beach is lovely, clear water, fine sand and very clean. It was lovely to look at. Then we started walk along parallel to the shore and saw how close the sunbeds were to each other which completely spoiled it for us. They were much closer than anywhere else we went in Goa.The beach is so big, there is absolutely no reason for it. Instead of two rows of beds at each beach shack they could have had three and spread the beds out more whilst still being close to the shacks for drinks and or food.
Even though the sunbeds were free we did not stay. We just found our driver and returned to our hotel, very disappointed.

Betalbatim Beach was less than 100 M from Nanu's Ressort where we stayed..
The Beach is very clean, with a large strip of sand that is over 1 Km in length.
Probably because it is lesser known than other Beaches like Colva, there was not much crowd on the beach.
We had the beach practically to ourselves in the mornings - so we walked, jogged, swam as we liked.
We were at the beach in the evening also to watch the brilliant sun set.
It was good to that they had a manned-life guard station. The Life Guard was quite active and alert - he did not loll around in the cabin..
Very glad that we chose to stay so close to Betalbatim Beach as we could visit whenever we wanted during the 3 day stay in Goa.
