Calm and secluded beach. If lucky, can see turtles too. No sound pollution, no light pollution... read more
Turtle beach/Galgibaga beach in Agonda is by far the most scenic and unspoiled beach I have been to in all of Goa. Its a turtle nesting site and you will find protective huts around turtle eggs to let them hatch. The beach has almost no crowd, no shacks, no water sports and zero vendors therefore the sands and water are clean. There is no noise other than waves crashing against the shore. The beach is not lit at night and you are not supposed to turn on any kind of light at the beach. Perfect place for meditation or even silently enjoying the beauties of nature.
I visited this beach as i wanted to explore the untouched beaches of goa.In total there were 06 people on beach,all foreigners(We Indians are busy crowding the already crowded north goa beaches) lazing around,sun bathing and we had a gala time.Go to the end of the beach where the sea merges inland and is quite beautiful.Dont go looking there for shacks selling beer and dal,subzi,paneer,butter chicken but for peace,tranquility, serenity.
Visited this beach and its so quite and remote. Nothing on it apart from a lifeguard and a turtle farm. Towards the tree line you will find about 3 or 4 restaurants near the river inlet. That's about all! There's a s small car parking area at the end of the track that serves the beach. Total paradise.
Landing on 18 February 2017, a day before a conference at Marriott Hotel , Goa gave me an opportunity to hire a self drive car and explore the distant and beautiful Galgibaga beach.
A 2 hour drive from Dabolim International Airport, Goa entailing a total distance of 76 kms saw me finally arriving at Galgibaga beach. The beach was so pristine and beautiful. The Olive Ridley turtle eggs had been accumulated and buried in 3 sandpits which were protected on all four sides by a wooden fence. The actual dates when these eggs were laid was recorded. Generally it takes 90 days for these eggs to hatch. .
There were few foreign tourists frolicking on the beach and some Goan families were having a picnic in the wooded area near the beach.
This is the hidden treasure. You wont be able to see any turtles though. But its completely secluded and very clean beach.
Other than being one of the spot for Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Conservation (which is pretty sad. I wish the Government does more)
One best thing about South Goa is the Unexplored and Unadulterated Beaches, and thank God and the Government for not developing tourism here (Do not want to see it getting ruined like North Goa)
So much Clean, Beautiful, Scenic, Intimate, Exclusive, Safe (they have Life Guards), Non-Commercialized and Serene....in short, a Must!!
