This is one of the first beaches among the many pleasant beaches of North Goa to have been developed and visited more often. Yes, the Sinquerim beach is located 13 Km from Panjim. Candolim and Sinquerim Beaches is in North Goa’s Bardez taluka. Once humble fishing villages.

Have you heard of the very famous Aguada Fort? The beach is located close enough to this prominent fort.

So, here’s the place – Sinquerim Beach – one can take long relaxing walks and enjoy the cool breeze blowing along the beach. This beach is also considered an ideal and suitable place for swimming.

Along the curve of this beach stands another eye captivating water body – the Candolim beach – packed with slow-basting package tourists from the UK, Russia and of course the domestics. It’s fringed with a line of beach shacks, all offering sunbeds and shade in exchange for your custom.

Where would you go sight-seeing?

• Fort Aguada: Standing stick tall is the Fort Aguada, occupying a splendid position. This fort was built during the Portugal Rule in 1612. A highly popular spot to watch the sunset with your loved ones.

• Fort Aguada Jail

Goa’s largest prison – Fort Aguada jail.  The road leading to the jail is both wonderful and weird. Wondering why? Your visit to this place shall answer you.

• Casa dos Monteiros

Do not miss Candolim’s architectural splendour – Casa dos Monteiros. The Monteiros, are the ones who built this place. It has the pretty 1780 Nossa Senhora dos Remedios (Our Lady of Miracles) chapel standing opposite the entrance to the house. Still occupied by descendants of the Monteiros, the house is not open to visitors but is worth a look from the outside.

The list could go on…. But I guess discovering places is much better than knowing them beforehand *wink*.
