15 Kms from Panjim in the Bardez taluka Comparing to its surrounding beaches, Candolim is very quite, this is due to the fact that they didn't built resort all around the beach. It's a subtle mixture of people taking break from the Rajneesh Ashram in Pune, Tourist for long and short term period, and nature lover's. For the moment the village remains little more than a ribbon development of small hotels and cafes.
Candolim Beach is the longest and quietest part of this northern stretch. At this point the beach is as deep as a football pitch, and the beach bars and shacks are set back on the sand dunes. One morning we gave the fishermen a hand to bring in their nets. They asked us if we wanted a couple of fish for our trouble, but no, it was just good fun helping. The fishing community with their huts on the beach, still fish as they have always done, most locals eating fish curry and rice on a daily basis. The only difference from their Grandfather’s day is the fact that they have an outboard motor on the back of their ancient craft!
Beach is one of most frequented and popular beach of Northern Goa. The beach starts at the footsteps of the highly acclaimed Fort Aguada, built by the Portuguese in 1612.This sandy stretch runs into Calangute Beach, a busy and commercialized center. The Candolim Beach itself is long and straight, backed by scrub-covered dunes, which is very popular with package tourists. This beach is quite peaceful than other beaches of Goa as it is a dispersed village with no real center.
