We arrived in Benaulim in March, pre lockdown and are still here in July 2020. In March, several beach shacks were open, we were pleasantly surprised by the free beachbeds and towels, and the excellent food and drink services offered by polite staff in the shacks. The beach itself was clean, gently shelving and the water was warm and clean. The only negative side still is, and was, the stray dogs. Far too many. Dog poo on the beach. Dogs fighting. Dogs begging for food at every shack. Once the season ends end of May, the shacks close and the dogs roam. The monsoon weather in June brings in an annual wash of oil, a result of tankers dumping the waste at sea and the tide pushing it up onto the beach. The high tides wash away the gentle sandy slopes and built up shack "patio" areas making it look so different during monsoon season. Debris is washed up regularly, washed away on the next tide, yet to see the beach being cleaned.…

This section of the beach has a large number of shacks, some watersports and local fishermen. As usual the beach is huge, sandy, gently shelving with a large tidal range. It is livelier than Sernabatim Beach (15 minute walk away) but not as boisterous as Colva Beach (35 minute walk), at least when we there in early March. There are probably enough shacks to last at least a fortnight were you to visit a different one eacy time. There are always lifeguards on patrol as the currents can get quite strong. In fact there is a lifeguard station there and we saw some recruits being trained (think Baywatch). As mentioned the local fishermen use this beach a lot and there are several fishing boats around. It's interesting watching them beach their boats and sell their catch directly on the beach.…

Head for this beach to get away from north GOA hustle-bustle. The main beach is approachable via the Benaulim town. I shall suggest to visit an even more relaxing part of the beach which is close to Taj exotica hotel, Benaulim and can be accessed by a road besides the hotel. This part of the beach has few decent shacks (Joecons beach shack has amazing food!), fine sand and a flat beach. This experience shouldn’t be missed .. !! Happy travelling…
