About Arambol Beach
One of the unique features is that, it is secluded and manages to look quite untouched and primitive, though it is every tourist's dream beach. This beach can be a sheer delight; if a person is looking for just the sea, himself and tranquillity.
Apart from offering peace and tranquillity, the villages around Arambol also have a hand in enhancing the beauty of this beach in Goa. The villagers at this Goan beach are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Here, you can get the feel of the Goan culture from close quarters. After the other crowded beaches in Goa which chug out commercial air, Arambol comes as a welcome change. There are miles and miles of long uninterrupted beaches with well-made tracks running around. The second beach is even more secluded and little used. There are sulphur pits and freshwater lakes that tourists can use for swimming during their vacations in Goa.
Just sit on the sand and loose yourself in its captivating beauty. The sand is soft and white with little cottages on the red slopes, rocks in some places and the approach road lined with shacks offering souvenirs and clothes. At one end of it runs the Tiracol River and beyond the river rises the Tiracol Fort, now an interesting little hotel.
A large and sprung out village near the seashore, Arambol can be approached by a road which winds across the plateau and down through the cashew trees. The beach is an uninterrupted and stunning stretch of curving sand, still unspoilt in comparison to other beaches. The beach is quiet except on Sundays, when a large crowd of local picnickers gather here for holidaying.
Where to stay?
This beach does'nt have much to offer when it comes to staying there except for one or two guesthouses here and there. There are absolutely no beach hotels around. So it is always better that you check in at some other place and then go visit this beach.
