The most relaxing beach in north Goa. Turtles use this beach to lay their eggs so the beach is a protected area and hawkers aren't allowed there (to constantly wave bits of tat in your face like they do at other beaches). There are about three cafes and then a huge expanse of untamed coast - if you're lucky you can walk for half an hour without seeing another soul. You'll need scooters or a car to get to the beach as it's quite out of the way.
If you're coming from the Anjuna area, head for Siolim, take the bridge across the river, then head for the coast.
Have lunch in Cafe La Plage. It is a French restaurant, a bit further down the road towards Arambol. Excellent tuna! Spend the day there ...Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
