Choosing a beach for relaxation is one of the most important stages of independent trip planning. Holidays in Goa are very diverse and can satisfy a wide variety of tourists’ preferences, so the choice of resort and beach depends largely on the purpose for which you are planning a trip to Goa. Some tourists come here for the famous noisy parties, others for a beach holiday, others are looking for a resort for a relaxing holiday with children, and still others want to get it all in one place. In this article we will tell you which beaches in northern and southern Goa are most popular among tourists.
All Goa beaches are divided into two main groups: the beaches of the north coast and the beaches of the south coast. Tourists who come to India to enjoy a relaxing beach and family holiday prefer to relax in South Goa, while young people prefer to relax in North Goa, who come here from all over the world to enjoy the vibrant nightlife here with many parties and trance parties.
There are no private beaches in Goa, they all belong to the state and anyone can relax on them, so nothing prevents you from choosing any beach for relaxation, regardless of which hotel in Goa you are staying at.
Best beaches in South Goa
The beaches of South Goa are not very different from each other, so the choice of where to stay depends rather on which hotel you prefer. Most of the hotels in the southern part of the state have 4 and 5 stars and are aimed at a relaxing family vacation for wealthy tourists, many of whom come here to relax with small children.
Beaches Varca, Cavelosim, Utorda, Majorda, Colva offer tourists a developed infrastructure with many luxurious four and five-star hotels, bars and restaurants. They are not very crowded and are very popular with famous politicians and world stars.
Beaches Kola, Agonda, Palolem Perfect for a relaxing budget holiday. Their infrastructure is not as developed as on other beaches on the southern coast of Goa; there are not a large number of luxury hotels and expensive restaurants with luxurious interiors, but the picturesque landscapes of these places will not leave indifferent those who admire the beauty of nature and will give many unforgettable holiday experiences.
Dona Paula beach. Considered one of the best beaches in Goa. Many scenes from Indian films have been filmed on this beach. This beach is popular with surfers.
The best beaches in North Goa
The beaches of the northern coast of Goa are designed more for budget and youth holidays, so there are not as many luxury hotels and restaurants here as in the southern part of the state.
Arambol- one of the best beaches for party lovers. If you love Goa Trance dance music, then you should look for it in this region of Goa. The beach is suitable only for youth budget holidays. Many Russian tourists live here throughout the entire tourist season. This is the most popular beach in North Goa.
Beaches Calangute, Baga, Candolim - These are the most popular beaches in the northern part of Goa among package tourists from Russia and Europe, as well as one of the favorite vacation spots among local tourists who come here from the central regions of India. On the territory of these beaches there are many inexpensive three-star hotels, but sometimes there are also 4 and 5 star hotels that can offer their guests luxurious rooms and a wide range of services and entertainment. These areas of North Goa have a well-developed infrastructure with many bars, restaurants, nightclubs, yoga and meditation centers. Prices for accommodation and tourist services here are lower than on the south coast of Goa, but higher than on other beaches on the north coast.
Anjuna– “mecca” of Goa Trance lovers from all over the world. It was on this beach that large Goa Trace Open Air Parties were recently held, but today their scale has noticeably decreased. If you love modern electronic music and are looking for like-minded people, then you won’t find a better place.
Vagator- another very favorite beach of North Goa among young people. There are also several famous clubs here that play Goa Trance. This is a large beach with developed infrastructure and a wide selection of housing in different price ranges.
Morjim– the most popular beach among Russian tourists. Locals call it Moscow-Beach. It is almost impossible to meet foreigners from other countries here. Prices for accommodation and tourist services here are higher than on other beaches in North Goa.
Goa beaches and their features: The beaches in Goa belong to the state, so no hotel has the right to deny access to them to local residents - colorful fishermen, sellers of fruits and Indian souvenirs, who sometimes very intrusively offer their goods to all foreign tourists in a row.
Please note that only the most expensive 4* and 5* hotels provide tourists with services on the beach, namely free umbrellas, sun loungers and beach towels. Hotels of 4-star level and below, especially in northern Goa, located on the second or third line from the coast, do not provide similar services.
However, on almost all beaches there are local cafes called “shaks” (or otherwise “shacks”), where tourists, having purchased food or drinks, can comfortably sit under the spreading umbrellas of this cafe.
By the way, according to Goa beaches Local barefoot boys are running around offering cheap coconuts freshly plucked from a nearby palm tree. With a special curved knife, this nut will be pricked right in front of you, and then, when you have absorbed the juicy freshness of cool and tasty coconut milk, the tender, appetizing white pulp will be taken out.

Here you will not find families with small children, since the entrance to the water is quite sharp. By the way, you should exercise some caution: despite the fact that the coast is sandy, there may be sharp stones at the bottom near the coast. The best time to visit Kola Beach is the months from October to March, when the Indian coast experiences a dry and hot season, while from November to February it is humid and often rains. Kola Beach consists of two parts, separated by a cape and, accordingly, called Big Kola Beach and Small Kola Beach.
Finding this beach is not difficult: it is located 10 kilometers from Agonda Beach and 15 kilometers from Palolem Beach - noisy seaside resorts with a well-developed tourist infrastructure.
Tiracol Beach
Tiracol Beach is located in the north of Goa, India. Here you will not encounter a lively crowd of tourists or see intrusive merchants, since Tiracol is the most deserted and remote beach in the state.
The beach consists of small shell rock, and nearby there is a medieval fort of the same name, which today has been converted into a small Heritage Hotel, but is nevertheless open to the public. In the hotel courtyard there is the Church of St. Anthony.

The quality of the food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.
The main advantage of this place for families with children is the Baga River, in the waters of which children love to swim. At the point where the river flows into the sea there are beautiful black stones, around which the water constantly “boils”.
Not far from Baga beach there are the healing springs of Mottant.

Not far from Anjuna, in northern Goa, there is a nice resort - Vagator. It is popular primarily among people who love dance music.

Quite often buses with excursions come here (usually at lunchtime). A small beach surrounded by cliffs, Middle Vagator is famous for being home to the popular party spot Disco Valley at the top.

Butterfly Beach
Butterfly Beach is located on the tiny island of Butterfly, between the beaches of Palolem and Agonda. The southern part of the coast of Goa. Stunningly beautiful places, magnificent beaches, pristine nature.
There are two versions of this romantic name for the island and the beach. According to the first, the name appeared because of two mountain surfaces connecting in the form of butterfly wings. According to another version, the name was given by the first tourists who arrived here during the flowering season of the trees and saw a lot of butterflies here. But be that as it may, it is surprisingly suitable for this beautiful secluded place.
The semicircular beach is located in a small isolated bay. Fine white sand and clear azure water. The beach is ideal for those seeking peace and solitude.

Restaurant "Curlies", Goa, India
If you are traveling 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 photographs and videos, and my opinion about each beach, if you are interested. The opinion is subjective. Goa opens up differently for everyone.
12 beaches of North Goa – review, photos, videos
Kerim Beach - the northernmost beach
There are no palm trees on Kerim Beach. Coniferous trees grow there, creating an unusual mystical landscape on the beach. Plus sparsely populated areas, 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, and guest houses are easy to find nearby. For shopping and entertainment, it is better to go to neighboring Arambol.
The sea on Kerim is beautiful, but dangerous. Waves are frequent, depth begins immediately. Not the best place to relax with small children.
Kalacha Beach - the beach of the Beatles and Sweet Lake
Kalacha Beach is famous for its Sweet Lake, an unusual landscape, large stones in the sea and a banyan tree under which the Beatles smoked and meditated. There are big doubts about the last fact. But the rest is all true. 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 it’s calm and calm.
Arambol – the beach of yogis who are enlightened and have found themselves
The most controversial beach in North Goa is Arambol. The first time I came to Goa, I fell in love with Arambol. The last time he disappointed me.
As for the beach and sea itself, Arambol is incredibly beautiful. A long and wide sandy beach, a long descent into the sea, the blue color of the water merging with the sky - it will take your breath away.
In the village of Arambol there are 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 beautiful, there is infrastructure, hangouts for mothers and babies, and even sour cream in stores.
Arambol is good for those who like to travel to the astral plane using special means. It’s easy to find a party and everything else there.
Arambol is good for creative people, for yogis, for those who are looking for themselves.
Mandrem - the beach of glamorous scumbags
Mandrem goes after Arambol. The same sea and the same beach line. In Mandrem, real hotels and fancy restaurants have been built. There you can even meet people in white pants and hats.
Prices in Mandrem are no lower than in Arambol. Many Russians. Few European pensioners. Quiet, calm, impressive.
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 other beaches in North Goa. Either the air there is different, or the wind, or the current brings mysticism and the desire to fly. There are few sheks and bungalows on the beach itself. And that’s probably why the slightly deserted Ashwema beach is fascinating.
My favorite place in North Goa by far.
Morjim - the most show-off and expensive beach
Russian village and all that. There, the cult director Pyotr Buslov came up with the idea of making a film “Motherland” about Russians in Goa. Buslov lived in Goa, in Morjim, for several seasons, so he studied the theme of the film very well.
The sea in Morjim is like in Arambol. There are a lot of party places, a lot of guest houses and a lot of Russians.
Vagator – 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 the beaches are different in appearance.
Black stones scattered in disarray along the beach create a fantastic landscape. Cows love this place too. Also, be sure to find the famous face of Shiva on Vagator.
Anjuna - the beach of the last hippies
Anjuna is a favorite place for partygoers, young and not so young. This is where the famous market days take place, with the Flea Market open on Wednesdays. Here, by the sea, songs ring from coastal cafes, here they break away and forget all the sorrows and hardships of their cold homeland.
I don’t like the sea in Anjuna - there are a lot of stones, some kind of algae. But you can find a place to swim if you wish.
Baga - 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, there are almost no big waves in Baga. Swimming is convenient and fun, even when there are huge waves in neighboring Calangute and Candolim.
Calangute - the most visited beach in North Goa
Calangute never sleeps! It's fun, party-like and relaxed at the same time. This is the favorite beach of European pensioners. There are also enough of our packagers here. Among independent tourists, Calangute is not particularly popular.
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 guests, the same pensioners. There are no problems in choosing accommodation, renting a bike, local street food, pizza or burger, Tibetan cuisine, or pharmacies. Internet in Candolim and Calangute is the best among all places in North Goa.
Sinquerim – a beach with history
Which North Goa beach is suitable for families with children?
- Arambol

- Vagator
- Calangute
- Candolim
Because there are many tour agencies, supermarkets, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, casinos and decent hotels.

You can book a hotel in Goa either on site or online. Booking is full of hotels and guest houses.
Flights to Goa
And if you have not yet decided on tickets to Goa, look at the table for the cheapest fares for regular flights to Goa.
The beaches of southern Goa are slightly different from the beaches of northern Goa, and therefore many tourists are interested in the question of where to go as a couple, with children, or where is it better for older people to go on vacation so that their vacation is complete and unforgettable. We will now consider the description of the beaches of the south and north.
Beaches of South Goa
South Region is the most quiet and calm and, accordingly, the beaches here are the most beautiful, clean and the best. Let's look at the most popular beaches in south Goa. The beach season begins in November, and resort hotels begin to fill with tourists. You can get to many beaches by city bus.
Cola is an isolated and calm beach, which is divided in the very middle by a cape. There is an indescribably beautiful fresh lake and beautiful natural views. You can rent a thatched hut at this beach.
Neighboring Agonda beach has more options for renting bungalows, although in terms of quality of relaxation it is inferior to Kolya. This is a three-kilometer long white sand beach, surrounded by palm trees and several restaurants.
Palolem is one of the best and most beautiful beaches in Goa. Here you will find snow-white sand, many bars and restaurants. Just a few years ago this beach was sparsely populated, but now there are many shacks here, and you can also rent a room for relaxation. Here you can go fishing and admire the frolicking dolphins.
Colva is the main tourist center, although there are slightly fewer tourists here than in Calangute. This is a fairly well-known resort, dotted with colonial-style villas and small fishermen's houses. It is safe to swim here and that is why many come here with children.
Cavelossim is a small resort town located between the Indian Ocean and the Sal River. Wealthy tourists from Europe relax here, who prefer a high level of comfort and a certain degree of privacy. Hotels here have their own beach, which is rented from the state.
Cooking is a small village with a white Catholic church, upscale hotels and small shops. This beach has a wide coastline, white sand and clear sea. There are also no rocks or pitfalls here, which makes for an excellent beach holiday. Here you will not find nightclubs or discos, so you can diversify your holiday with the help of health and beauty treatments offered by the resort's all-inclusive hotels.
Benaulim located 7 km from Margao and 2 km from Colva. This beach is popular among those who love small cozy cafes and shady alleys. Dolphins here swim close to the shore. You can rent scooters and bicycles on the beach.
Beaches of North Goa
Calangute is a small town in the north of Goa, one of the most popular resorts and the former capital of the “hippies”. It is quite fun and noisy here during peak hours, so few people choose this beach for children's holidays. There are also a lot of diverse people here, who gather in large groups near the sea.
Morjim also called the “Russian settlement”, since about 80% of vacationers are Russian tourists. Indian traders know a lot of Russian words, which help them sell their souvenirs. There are even Russian restaurants here with dumplings, borscht and pancakes. Also on the beach there are many Russian guesthouses, schools of yoga, Ayurveda, restaurants and even kindergartens for Russian children. Hotels offer a variety of services, including an all-inclusive system.
Mandrem is a small beautiful village located between two beaches, Ashvem and Arambol, which are among the best on the north coast of Goa. It has everything you need for a relaxing and relaxing holiday, from a white sand beach and clear sea to upscale hotels. Many couples with small children vacation in Mandrem, since the wide coastal strip and convenient descent into the sea make children’s holidays enjoyable and fulfilling.
Ashvem can be called one of the least crowded beaches in Goa, so its rare tourists can thoroughly enjoy the silence and clean beaches with fine yellow sand. There are no rocks here like on other beaches, but the large boulders that lie on the very shore of the sea add picturesqueness.
Arambol is the largest and most suitable village for tourism. Mostly savages like junkies, hippies, trancers and freaks like to relax here. During the daytime, they fly kites, ride boats and kites, and in the evenings practice yoga and meditate. During high season it gets quite crowded. The wide coastline and green palm groves create an excellent atmosphere for relaxation.
Candolim attracts tourists with its respectability, quiet and relaxing holiday. Its structure is more similar to the beaches of the south. There are even two luxury hotels of the Taj Group built here. The disadvantage of the beach is the very steep descent to the sea.
Baga is a small beautiful beach with several hotels. There is even a river called Baga, where kids love to swim. Recently, a Saturday evening market began to be organized in Baga.
Anjuna- This is a large center of cultural life in Goa, where the best nightclubs such as Paradise and Dolce Vita are open. Here is the busiest beach with clean white sand, and on Wednesdays the resort's most famous flea market is open, where you can buy a variety of Indian souvenirs.
Vagator, which is located next to Anjuna, is not so noisy and party-oriented, but you still won’t be bored there.
Betalbatim is a beach that is surrounded by pine trees and located 2 kilometers from Majorda. There are several restaurants and inexpensive guesthouses here.
Arpora is a respectable and calm resort, which is famous for its beautiful beaches with the atmosphere of pristine, untouched nature. White sand and warm waves of the sea combined with coconut palms create a real fairy tale called “The Bounty”.
If you want to visit many interesting places (Jaipur, Delhi and Agra), then the Golden Triangle tour will give you this opportunity.
