Sinquerim

This is part of a 30 km stretch of beach coastline along the west coast of Goa by the arabian sea that begins at Fort Aguada continues as Sinquerim beach, then as Candolim beach and merges into Calangute beach, then Baga beach and then Anjuna beach to Vagator beach finally ending at Chapora beach and Fort.

There are a number of buses that run the beach route from Mapusa and Calangute Beach to Sinquerim. The nearest interstate bus station is at Mapusa, the KTC bus station.

Sinquerim Beach is one of the most beautiful of the beaches in Goa . It is located just 13 km from the state capital Panaji and added attraction of this beach is the Fort Aguada which is near by. What will charm you about Sinquerim Beach is miles of pristine white sand, in fact the tranquility of the place captures your attention. You will feel here as if time stands still in the hushed surroundings.

The tourists come here especially for its untouched and peaceful setting. Palm tree groves lining the beach along with sun kissed golden sands and aqua blue water of the Arabian Sea mesmerizes your senses. You can indulge in water sports and swimming here or just walk through towards the north up to Baga Beach . The prime attraction of the Sinquerim Beach is also Fort Aguada , which is undoubtedly the most important and well-preserved Portuguese coastal fort. One who comes to Sinquerim Beach has also the option to visit Aguada and Baga beaches.

As Sinquerim Beach has become a prime tourist destination there are large number of holiday homes.

Sinquerim Beach is the longest established and more ‘sophisticated’ end, where the Fort Aguada Resort, Taj Holiday Village and Aguada Hermitage are all situated. It’s a little more expensive and a little more international. The view from above the Hermitage up the coast is really quite spectacular.

During the season water sports are available here including jetskiing and parasailing, one of the few beaches where you can enjoy water activites. The large bulk carrier, ‘River Princess’, that ran aground more than five years ago is still here. It’s become a recognised landmark and we fear that everyone has got so used to it now that it will never be removed!
