This is very famous beach for tourist but I will recommend visit the same for the sake of visit but do not try to stay nearby or give much time to this beach as this is highly crowded and dirty beach, There are several other beaches in North Goa which you will love to visit.

One of the popular beaches in north goa, this is also the most crowded. Busy lanes leading to the beach front with limited parking space (couldn’t locate 4 wheeler parking). During peak season, traffic jams come easy. Entry to beach was dirty, filled with intruders selling something (tattoos, clothes, etc) and a staring crowd. Unfortunately, we went in the sunny afternoon and the sand was red hot. Had to choose a shack adjacent to the entrance and it was expensive. Overall, this is one beach that could be avoided (in peak season) unless you enjoy crowd. May provide better experience in off season.

This place can be visited in evenings to enjoy the sun set moment & relax on shacks. Also one can enjoy all water sports at mid-range pricing. You have good options to chill at cafe & enjoy drinks with snacks.

You should definitely visit this place if you're a party animal. We spent the evening at Calangute and were completely taken in by the glittering lights, smells and pleasant sea breeze. There are beach shacks and tables placed on the beach itself, where you can spend a nice time having dinner with your partner or family. Some beach shacks also have hookah, so it adds to the ethereal feeling.

While nothing wrong with the beach, it’s clean and beautiful but we were horrified by the number of people there, more than a fish market.
It’s a mass beach and thousands of people and it’s the boarding point of so called water sport activities so it add to the crowd.
Best to avoid and instead go to Candolim beach which is nearby.

The beach is very crowded and people like me who want to avoid crowds should not go there. Though there are a lot of activities on offer like boat rides, parasailing and jet skiing

It is one of the happening beaches in North Goa. You have Baga beach and Candolium beaches closer to this as well.
The beach is generally crowded with all types of people. You can enjoy in the water which is quite clean. Water supports are also available in abundant for enjoyment.
Only things are stray cattle and stray dogs which make the things worse.
Otherwise you will enjoy here a lot.

Hi, I've heard a lot about the fact, that most of the beaches in GOA are extremely dirty, with broken glass and litter everywhere, as people drink heavily there and its not safe also.
That bad opinions impacted seriously GOA in terms of tourists numbers (both domestic! And international), which declined seriously.
BUT in 2019 - at the end, special agency started to work and maintain clearance of beaches in order to improve GOA picture and react on serious tourists drop. (Karnataka Commercial and Industrial Pvt Ltd)
SO - WHAT is the situation in GOA now? Can you guys, who visited that part of India in Dec 2019, Jan, Feb 2020 tell me and share your experience?
I know its India, no doubt, but is it really so dirty as even official agencies admit it as real problem?

Hi.We stayed in Calangute in Dec'19.I didn't come across any broken glass etc on the beach. Calangute Candolim were very clean. Yes you do come across empty bottles etc. On the path from hotel to the beach. So do wear your slippers.

Sorry, I’ve only just seen this question.
I can recommend Somy Resort hotel. It’s very well located and is being modernised. The room we had was super with good air con, and a lovely bathroom (You definitely wouldn’t want one of the older rooms).
We loved Calangute beach but were told to steer clear of Bagga?
India is a bit of a culture shock though.

hi, suggest you to go to Morjim Beach or Querim beach which are very peaceful beaches. beautiful location with ample space for sun basking. Calangute and baga beaches shall be too much crowded. you can hire car on rent which will cost Rs 1200 to 1500 per day for small family car. all the best and happy holidaying in GOA.
