The Agonda Beach
One of the most isolated beaches of South Goa, Agonda beach is a
favorite haunts amongst those looking for a solitude. The three km
long strech of the white sands is lined with palm and casuarinas
trees. One won't come across many tourists on the beach, as there
are very less 'happenings' on the beach. There are very few
facilities available here with few tourists, no souvenir stalls, and
no restaurants. It is also not safe to swim out too far on this
beach
