What to do and see in Candolim, Goa: The Best Things to do

October 14, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Candolim is just north of the Mandovi river and is home to Goa's most popular and well known resort and holiday village. As such, it's not a typical backpackers destination. The Candolim beach itself does not have much to offer when compared to its livelier neighbor, Calangute. However, if sunbathing and take the occasional dip is your thing then Candolim will offer you the perfect experience. One of the more interesting sights from Candolim beach is the bulk carrier ""River Princess"" which ran aground 100 metres offshore. While at the Candolim beach do not miss out the Aguada Fort. The fort was built by the Portuguese way back in 1912 for defense against the Dutch and the Maratha invaders. Candolim is aslo a very popular evening destination as it has a number of very good resteraunts and night clubs.

The Sheek Emporium never disappoints - had and absolutely beautiful evening dress made here. Everyone commented on how stunning it was and I felt time a million dollars in it. We have had this dress, shirts for my husband and a Marilyn Monroe dress made and have found them all to be made to a very high standard. Thank you all at the Sheek Emporium

A warm welcome awaits you at Hollywood Fashion! Hollywood Fashion is an established bespoke tailoring service in Candolim, headed by myself, Arshid, or as my many customers call me Arsh We have been operating in Goa for about 18years, and have outfitted hundreds of customers over the years.

We are also happy to also copy from existing designs, and have a range of fabrics in store for you to choose from. You are also welcome to supply your own fabric. I have a professional qualification in design and tailoring, and come from a family with a long-standing history of tailoring and design. I also have a large team of highly skilled tailors, many of them with their individual special skills, be it Western or Indian style outfits, embroidery, wedding outfits, ladies dresses, gents' suits and leather garments. We are also able to make leather and fur accessories. My mission is to ensure that customers are delighted with what we create for them and will always come back for more. To this end, we take great pride in our work and focus not only on the look of the finished garment but on the detail - the durability of the garment, the finishing, the lining, even the buttons. Details matter to us. Finally, our turnaround time is quick, as our customers will tell you (see the reviews)! And we deliver not only locally, but can even send you your garments overseas, straight to your door. But don't take only my word for the quality of our service. A look at our reviews will tell you what our customers think! We look forward to giving you a warm welcome and high quality service, so come visit us!

This private residence is visible while on a boat ride in the area. The view looked familiar as the hindi movie "Haseena Maan Jaayegi" had a few scenes here.

The best place to watch Dolphins and kids will really enjoy it. If you are visiting Goa, don't miss it. Boat guy will charge Rs.300 per person (below 5 yrs is free) and total trip will take around 1 hour. They will also show you the old central jail and few bungalow's around.
