Agonda Beach, Goa
What was once a clean stretch of beach with few odd tourists has seen a sudden outpouring of love from vacationers who are done with the usual beaches up North. Agonda is fast becoming one of South Goa’s best beaches thanks to ample upscale boutiques, beachside shacks, groovy bars, vegan cafes, and boutique resorts lining the area, making it a fun village for everyone. So, if you’re someone who wants a leisurely, perfectly relaxing beach vacation and don’t mind paying a premium for it Agonda beach holds a lot of promise.
The beach itself isn’t big on watersports and the waves are big and rough, which makes swimming rather challenging. Some seasoned water babies, however, do hit the waves with the surfboards under the vigil of the lifeguards. Mostly, you’ll see couples, families, and friends sunning themselves and enjoying the sunbeds with books, fresh juice, and sunscreens for company.
Agonda is not the best beach for swimming because the sea is choppy. There can be undercurrents. It gets choppier in the monsoon, and the waves are also higher. So it’s best to avoid swimming. The winter is a great time. Little rain! Very little humidity! Much cooler and more pleasant!
