CANDOLIM BEACH (Introduction)
Candolim is a beach that is very much in North Goa. The most basic attraction is Aguda Fort & Calangute Beach. The best time to visit this place is from December To February.

Candolim Beach is quite peaceful than other beaches of Goa. This sandy stretch runs into Calangute Beach, a busy and commercialized center. The beach itself is long and straight, backed by scrub-covered dunes, which is very popular with package tourists. These beaches are quite peaceful and it is a dispersed village with no real center.

 Candolim is very quite, and this is due to the fact that there aren’t resorts all around the beach. It's a subtle mixture of people taking break from the Rajneesh Ashram in Pune, Tourist for long and short-term period, and nature lovers.

Candolim Beach is a part of a long stretch of beach coastline along the Arabian Sea that begins at Fort Aguada and ends at Chapora Beach. This beach has got a lot of inns which have real good facilities. This has made Candolim Beach a place where one can easily find a large number of starred as well as non-starred hotels.
