Candolim is a beach that
is very much in North Goa. The most basic attraction is
Aguda Fort & Calangute Beach. The best time to visit this
place is from December To February.
Candolim Beach is quite
peaceful than other beaches of Goa. This sandy stretch runs
into Calangute Beach, a busy and commercialized center. The
beach itself is long and straight, backed by scrub-covered
dunes, which is very popular with package tourists. These
beaches are quite peaceful and it is a dispersed village
with no real center. |

Candolim is very quite, and this is due to the fact that
there aren’t resorts all around the beach. It's a subtle
mixture of people taking break from the Rajneesh Ashram in
Pune, Tourist for long and short-term period, and nature
lovers.
Candolim Beach is a part of a long stretch of beach
coastline along the Arabian Sea that begins at Fort Aguada
and ends at Chapora Beach. This beach has got a lot of inns
which have real good facilities. This has made Candolim
Beach a place where one can easily find a large number of
starred as well as non-starred hotels. Candolim is also the
birth place of Abbe Faria. Abbe Faria is considered to be
one of the Great Goan Freedom Fighters and also the Father
of Hypnotism.
FORT AGUADA :
Fort Aguada was built in the year 1612 by the Portuguese.
This is a famous Fort in Goa and is worth visiting. On the
Northern side of this Fort there are two beaches. One of

from Mapusa and Calangute. The nearest interstate bus
station is at Mapusa, which is the KTC bus station.
