Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My friend and I stayed at a yoga retreat in Orlim and every afternoon we would head down to the beach for a few hours before our yoga class at 5.30pm every evening. It is a quiet unspoilt beach and Capricorn cafe and the staff are welcoming and the service was friendly and reasonably priced. Lovely soft sand. It is worth a visit

Absolutely stunning beach, very clean and safe. We walked for a couple of hours each day and we never had people trying to sell us anything. Great sunsets with some fantastic beach shacks, best one we tried was Sea Pearls just on the beach near Caravela Beach hotel turn left as you come onto the beach.

We stayed at Caravela beach resort situated at Varca Beach which looks pure blue in colour. The beach is not crowdy and is very clean. The best part about this beach is the sunset. Sun sets right in the middle of Arabian sea here and is completely painted in red colour in the evening. You can enjoy boat rides and some other sports here and it is also not dangerous if you walk towards the sea. Must visit in south Goa....

Beautiful beach. Though you would not see alot of people post 8pm whih is a dampener to the Goa spirits and people here would say " We are not like North Goa, where beaches are open but its risky". I was like guys 20 mins up in South Goa, Colva beach is open at night and safe and nice. A culture issue mostly

Varca beach is one of the less crowded one even compared with Colva beach which is only about 10 km from Varca. You can hire beach-chairs which are mostly placed under beach-umbrellas and charged at hourly rates by the beach side restaurants/shacks. They also serve you cold Beer, drinks, food & snacks.

This beach is clean and reasonably shallow so that we can bath there safely. Conpared to other beaches the crowd is less and this makes it more attractive.
Do try some fish delicacies from the nearby shacks
However the costs of these shacks seems to on the higher side.
There are activities like paragliding, jet skiing etc.

Varca beach situated in South Goa is one of the most pristine beaches of Goa. It is extremely clean and beautiful with white sands. One of the few beaches where you can see the sand below through the blue waters. We spent time in the water enjoying the waves and loved every moment of it.
One can also engage in water sports, however we did not try since we had gone during high tides.

Lovely beach, however few people need to learn some civic sense. Did see some chips packets, plastic wrappers and even a whiskey bottle in the clear waters. The waters were so clear only to be marred by the waste people throw around! Not many beach shacks were open at the time we went due to the pandemic.

Is Majestic Palms Villa next to Joecon ( not Majestic beach comfort) - a good place to stay for 5days with family and young children end of Jan.
We are making a last minute trip and want to relax and just enjoy the day in lazy way and maybe some excursions.
Any options for fair price food and restaurants in the area ? Don't want to be treated with 5star price as it seem the location is surrounded by high end resorts . Thanks in advance.

Very sorry, Can't answer this. We stayed at the wonderful Caravela Beach Resort, after a 2 week full on tour of India, and only ventured to the beach! (Which is lovely)

Is water sports available on varca beach.

Only motor boating, and para sailing. But nowhere near international standards. A guy plants his dirty foot in your back to keep your torso straight, and tied with knots, no hooks used. A joke of water sports.

Hi I am travelling during Christmas (25,26 and 27th December) to Club Mahindra Varca. Would someone assist with how much does water sporting activities cost? Is it better to take from resort OR go to other vendors outside resort? Also how crowded is Club Mahindra resorts? I know its wrong to expect less crowd, however its better to know.
Written 5 December 2018
Getting accomodation in Christmas at Goa is always a dicey affair. Pl book, confirm and go. Club Mahindra Varca is almost at the southern tip of Goa and crowd is less in the beach there. Unfortunately it is the Taxi and water sports mafia which operate in that area and are unreasonable in the pricing. The water sports offered by the Club is the best option or can look to Colva beach for more and less expensive options.

Is the Varca beach only accessible as a private beach from one of the resorts here or is there a public beach which is accessible to all? I am planning to stay at Cavelossim and make a trip to Varca Beach from there, hence the query.
