I Am at Candolim Beach

Hello dear friends,

I hope this blog finds you in a cheerful and relaxed mood. After sharing my wonderful experiences from day one in Goa, I’m excited to take you along on day two of this beautiful journey.

Today was all about discovering one of North Goa’s most loved coastal gems—Candolim Beach.

If day one was about first impressions and gentle beginnings, day two was about slowing down, breathing in the sea air, and letting Goa reveal its calm, sun-kissed side.

Candolim Beach welcomed me with a sense of ease

Yes, Candolim Beach welcomed me with a sense of ease the moment I arrived.

Stretching long and wide along the Arabian Sea, its golden sand felt softer underfoot, its surroundings noticeably calmer than its energetic neighbours, Calangute and Baga.

There’s something refreshing about Candolim—it doesn’t try too hard to impress, yet it quietly does.

The beach feels open, clean, and spacious, offering the perfect setting to unwind without feeling isolated.

The morning began lazily, just as a beach day should. Sunbeds lined the shore, spaced comfortably apart, inviting visitors to stretch out, relax, and do absolutely nothing.

I found myself drawn to the rhythm of the waves—steady, soothing, and almost meditative.

Candolim has a relaxed vibe that encourages you to slow your pace. Time seems to move differently here, measured not in hours but in tides and sunlight.

Of course, Candolim isn’t only about stillness.

As the day progressed, the adventurous side of the beach came alive. Colourful water sports kiosks dotted the shore, offering everything from jet-skiing and banana boat rides to parasailing high above the sea.

Watching parasailers soar against the blue sky was thrilling, and for those craving a rush of adrenaline, the options were endless.

For me, even observing the excitement from the shore added to the lively yet balanced atmosphere of the beach.

One of the highlights of the day was strolling along the shoreline, where the beach remained impressively clean and well-maintained.

Lifeguards were stationed at regular intervals, giving a reassuring sense of safety that allowed visitors to relax fully.

This attention to cleanliness and care is one of the reasons Candolim is often considered one of the best beaches in North Goa—it feels looked after, respected, and welcoming.

As lunchtime approached, the beach shacks began to tempt us with the irresistible aroma of Goan seafood.

Candolim’s dining scene is one of its strongest charms.

From simple wooden shacks to more stylish beachfront spots, there’s no shortage of places to enjoy fresh fish, prawns, calamari, and classic Goan curries.

I settled into a shaded shack, toes in the sand, enjoying a plate of freshly prepared seafood paired with a cool drink, while soft music played in the background.

It was the kind of meal that tastes even better because of where you are.

Later in the afternoon, I took some time to explore the area beyond the beach.

Candolim’s location is one of its greatest advantages. Situated conveniently between the lively beaches of Calangute and Baga and the historic Aguada Fort, it offers the best of both worlds.

A short drive brought views of Fort Aguada, standing proudly above the sea, reminding visitors of Goa’s rich colonial history and strategic past.

The contrast between the quiet beach and the imposing fort added depth to the day’s experience.

As evening approached, Candolim transformed yet again.

The sun began its slow descent, painting the sky in shades of orange, pink, and gold. Candolim is famous for its sunsets, and it’s easy to see why.

The wide horizon offers uninterrupted views, making the moment feel almost cinematic.

People gathered quietly along the shore—some with cameras, others simply watching in silence. It was one of those rare moments where everyone seemed united by the same feeling of calm appreciation.

As night fell, the beach shacks grew livelier.

Soft lights flickered on, music drifted through the air, and conversations became warmer and more animated.

Candolim’s nightlife is gentle rather than wild—perfect for those who want to enjoy the evening without the chaos.

Sitting there under the stars, listening to the waves and distant laughter, I felt deeply content.

For anyone seeking a quieter yet well-connected beach holiday in Goa, Candolim truly feels like an all-around choice.

It offers relaxation without boredom, adventure without overwhelm, and comfort without losing character.

Day two reminded me why Goa continues to capture hearts so effortlessly.

With the sound of the sea still echoing in my ears, I closed the day feeling refreshed and grateful.

And as I drifted into the night, I couldn’t help but look forward to what day three will bring. Stay with me, dear friends—Goa still has many stories left to tell.
