About 8km from Vishkhapatnam is the pristine Rishikonda Beach
offers everything a no-frills beach should. Enjoy the meandering road that
leads to the beach, spread out your mats and soak in the beauty with a chain of
hills on one side and the ocean on the other.
Best time to go: October
- March
Hire an auto rickshaw from Agonda or ride down on a scooter
you've hired and head to this breathtaking beach with its fresh sweet water
lagoon. A largely unspoilt beach, Cola offers a perfect getaway from the bustle
of city life with little else but the sun and the sea.
Best time to go: November
- April
If its bazaar on the beach you're looking for, Candolim is the
place to go. From cheap clothes to massages, you can get pretty much what you
want. Head towards the Sinquerim end of the beach to get some water sports
action or just take a walk and simply soak in the touristy Goa experience.

If you're young and have lived anywhere in the radius of
500 km of Goa, it's very unlikely you've never been to Baga. Besides the
standard banana boat rides and other beach sports, Baga is also known for its
shacks, parties and restaurants. As a Tripadvisor user recommends: Don't miss Zanzibar during the day and St.
Anthony's for karaoke every night. For those who want to relax and enjoy some
pubs, do not miss Kamakis and Cape Town Cafe on the Tito's lane.
Unlike many of the busy and bustling beaches in North Goa,
Mandrem is a sight for sore eyes. A Tripadvisor user writes: One gets the
experience of having your own private beach here. Other than 3-4 foreigners
exercising or surfing, the beach was all for ourselves. White beautiful sand
with small crab holes, white storks, beautiful waves worth swimming and surfing
was a real treat which my wife and I really enjoyed. Unlike other beaches in
North Goa, you will not be hassled by hawkers or vendors."

The Lighthouse Beach in Kovalam is one of the cleaner and safer
beaches of Kerala that sees a healthy mix of western and Indian tourists. As a
traveller writes on Tripadvisor, the many restaurants and tourist shops along
the beach aren't necessarily a drawback and sun-beds and parasols are available
at a reasonable price.
The waters are fairly safe though the lifeguards are extra
cautious to not let anyone venture in too far.
Best time to go: September
- March
The only beach is southern Kerala where you can find cliffs
along the Arabian Sea, Varkala is also known for its numerous water spouts and
spas on the sides of these very cliffs.
Varkala is a haven for sun-bathing and swimming as well as a
great place to hang out and watch the sun set in the Arabian Sea.
Best time to go: September
- March
Also very clean and sans a lot of dogs, the Cavelossim Beach is
a fine place to head to if all you want to do is eat and chill out.
A Tripadvisor user who visited it earlier this month writes: "It makes a
nice change to sit and watch the sunset on the beach away from your hotel...
The (proximity) of the village was an advantage, but it (isn't) too near as to
be intrusive; the beach is fabulous and by the time we arrive there were enough
sun-beds at each beach shack."

Unlike most of the beaches on Havelock Island that only have a
number, Radhanagar has a name and is the most beautiful spot on the island.
Rent a bike to ride to the beach and enjoy the pristine
surroundings.
Be amazed by the white sands and clean waters as you hit the sea
for a swim. There are no water sports allowed says a traveller who visited it
recently but swimming is permitted between 8am and 4pm.
The sun sets at 5pm so remember to carry a torch light if you
want to stay after sunset.

By some descriptions Agonda is what Palolem used to be a few
years ago. A lovely drive from Cancona and Colva beaches, away from the bustle
of city traffic Agonda Beach is a great find. Rent out a shack for as little as
Rs 500, stretch yourself out and enjoy or engage in a bit of body surfing since
the waves here are bigger and waters fairly safe. What more can you ask out of
life, right?
