Bambolim Beach is a
small, clean, largely undiscovered beach, in a shaded spot
before the mouth of the river Zuari. The entrance to the
beach is easily missed and lies along the hill between Goa
Medical College and the Goa University.
The road goes all the way down to the Bambolim beach resort
from where you can make your way to the beach. The beach is
carpeted with broken mother-of-pearl and other shells, which
makes it a haven for shell-collectors. Thick coconut groves
line the beach and provide shade and privacy. Its a
beautiful beach for a quiet, cosy picnic.
You can enjoy lunch at the Bambolim Beach Resort restaurant,
serenaded by one of the local singers or bands. When you
decide to head back home, take the road that goes to the
beautiful Goa University all the way up to Dona Paula.
A little off the road before Dona Paula just before the
National Institute of Oceanography, is a restaurant called
White House. It serves excellent seafood and has a view of
the bay to die for.
Its also one of the few pet-friendly restaurants in Goa, so
if you have a well-behaved pooch along, you won't have to
tie it outside till you finish your dinner. |
