    One of the best beaches in north Goa. The beach is cleanest and view of the stretch is amazing. The beach is usually crowded at main market Calangute. I suggest to stay at within 1km from main market to enjoy peaceful and amazing view pf the beach. Overall great experience.😍💯

    Lovely beach. Fairly clean considering the number of people visiting. The water was crystal clear too. If only people stop trying to sell you something every minute, this would be a great place to relax.
