GOA : Agonda Beach
The Vibe:Three kilometres of sand, and turtles at one end.
A long, straight bay north of Palolem that stayed low-rise by local decision. Olive ridley turtles nest at its southern end under forest department protection.
Surf runs the full length of an unbroken beach, with huts set well back behind the treeline. It stays dark and quiet after the shacks close.
- Roughly three kilometres of continuous sand in Canacona
- An olive ridley turtle nesting site, protected by the Goa Forest Department
