Probably the most famous beach in Goa. it lies in North Goa, around an hour taxi drive from the Airport (Both the airports). It is indeed crowded always, the beach and the approach road but vibrant at the same time. You can find people even past mid-night enjoying at the beach with restaurant (shacks) all lighted up white their tables and chairs lined up to the shore line serving food. Sports activIties are plentiful during the daytime from boat rides to para sailing and more.

We enjoyed Calangute Beach, swimming, body surfing was great - just need to keep an eye on the tides as the waves can turn into little “dumpers’. The beach itself is pretty clean and lifeguards are very attentive for non-swimmers. Set well back from the shoreline are a range of beach restaurants and sun lounges - if you are into sunbaking - go hard!! The beach does and will become crowded during certain times of year. This is expected - the local fisherman set and pull their beach nets around sunset always a good spectacle - especially if a wave is running. Sunset is wonderful the beach is pretty sparse on dark and the beaches restaurants continue to provide a good selection of drinks and culinary delights!!

This beach is quite crowded, but it boasts a stunning sunset view and a wide range of shacks and eateries. If you're seeking tranquility, this might not be the ideal spot for you. Overall, it's a good choice, easily accessible, and, most importantly, clean.

This is our first trip abroad, so there's not much to compare with, except Evpatoria. But we really like it here, the sand is fine, clean, it even crunches nicely underfoot sometimes. True, when you walk off the beach, sand in your slippers rubs your feet. It's probably the only downside of all the sandy beaches. Yeah, there's a big wave coming in, but you sail out over the Surf and it's fine. Every step of the way, Shecky, you take the sunbed, you're given Wi-Fi, you lie down, you want water, or beer. You can eat here, have coffee. They don't cook fast, but they're delicious and inexpensive. By the way, everyone said be careful with the food. Anyway, eating shavarma right outside made, though spicy very, nothing. Drinking reed juice in the bazaar squashed in front of me, trying all sorts of fruits, and so far, I think it's okay. The vacation isn't over, maybe I'll add something. Live wild, in the private sector, shower, air conditioning Internet, all good. Not an apartment, but not bad. Yes, only tickets and tours are expensive. I'm going to see if I can add one on Monday.

Very popular beach among several beaches of Goa. Easily accessible from every corner of Goa. So many shops are located near beach where you can purchase local items and Cashew. Beach is strching very long and very good for water activities and sea bath. Local food, tea ,coffee restaurants are available on swa shore. Inspite of very happening place ,I didn't like it much. Reason ,Due to over hyped it's a noisy ,crowdy type spot. May be visited once it you are really keen for it and have time or staying nearby location. Otherwise Morjim Cavalossim Palolem and some other south Goa beaches are more beautiful, quite and serene than this crowded spot.

Calangute beach is one of longest beach that I felt among all the beaches in goa, if you in goa to have a lot of fun and activity. There are various water sport activities like water skiing. Quite a few restaurants are there on the beach selling various delicacies and liquor. Beach chairs are available for rent.

Lives upto the hype Is crowded because its close to main markets which for me is a great bonus. You can enjoy beach and get good food close by. Halal food options are also available closeby for those seeking it. 2 paid toilets closeby which are 2 star cleanliness way, but atleast something. Its beautiful. Water is a bit dangerous and it had no swimming sign up when i visited.

June isn't the time of year to visit. The beach closed for swimming, there's no water sports activities and most cafes are shut. The overall retail area of Calangute is pretty basic and dirty.
