Candolim Beach
Playa Candolim
Candolim Beach (Goa) — visitors interested in the country’s beaches are required to trek outside of land-locked Delhi. One distant but worthy destination is Cavelossim Beach (near the one-time Portuguese enclave of Goa) (a 2 ½ hour plane ride from Delhi). Candolim is one of the India’s best beach holiday destinations for honeymoon couples as it offers everything from water sports to fishing to yoga and meditation to massage to colorful bazaars to luscious sea food; and of course there are the famous beach parties as well. This beautiful beach destination looks even more appealing with large scrub-covered dunes in between the sea water and shore, a church, and a lighthouse, which has been a part of attraction here. Candolim Beach is also recognized for the presence of Aguada Fort, built by the Portuguese way back in 1912 for fortifying against the Dutch and the Maratha invaders. It has a good number of hotels, beach resorts and some very soothing spa and massage parlors.
