Definitely a quieter and cleaner beach than Calangute/Baga/Anjuna even though it was raining. Avoid the shack that's on the beach; overpriced and the staff is inattentive.

This is one of the nicest beaches in Goa and like the many other beaches it also offers great view of the Sea and the surrounding. The early morning walk is highly recommended as it will give you an opportunity to enjoy the environment without much disturbance. Mind you there are many beach side restaurants sprawling all over the beach... More

Liked: the quietness on this beach. Spent good hour walking around. Disliked: unfortunately due to an oil spill, the residue was shoring up the beach. Loads of jellyfish lay dead on the beach. Had to be in the dry sand area.

The Candolim Beach is a great beach to visit if you're looking for a swim in the ocean water, which compared to the other beaches nearby (Calangute, Baga beaches) has much cleaner waters. There are few shacks along with sun-beds where you can relax...Also, the sand in this beach is much cleaner compared to a few other beaches in north... More

Nice clean and quiet beach I prefer this beach over Calangute and Baga as it is not chaotic like them Shacks are simple however food quality is good and little on cheaper side. if you are looking for quiet beach to relax then head there quiet bumpy and not flat but still worth a visit

Good for beach lovers. Silent and peaceful to relax and walk by sea. Sporting options is there but fewer compared to Calangute beach. Near the Whispering Palm Resort. Fe shack are there on the beach. Foreign tourist visit it frequently during the morning and in the evening.

Neat and Clean beach. Not too crowded. IF you want to enjoy water with family, this is the place. About 3 Kms from Calangute which is highly crowded beach this is really nice place. Not many eateries around so might not be first choice if you want to have sunset view but otherwise a nice place.

This beach is relatively less crowded than Baga or Calangute. A few decent shacks - pretty good for swimming. Has its usual share of 'vendors' ... but by and large a pretty decent beach.

If you are looking for less crowd quiet beach in North Goa than this is the place to be in. Beautiful Goa beach very clean, serene. Whether it is morning walk or sunset watching you will love it. Sand is very clean and taking sea bath is fun. It is not commercialized and crowded like Baga or Calangute beach.
