This beach sports a mixture of serenity and commercialism, splashed with simple beauty where one can happily lose oneself. Initially this was a fishing village until tourists started pouring in and tourism stated catching up in this small Indian state of Goa.
Despite modern eating joints, hi-tech shops selling handicrafts surrounding it, the village at Bogmalo still manages to stay alive. This beach is clean and not very crowded like Anjuna beach or other beaches in Goa. Here you can definitely go in for a swim as the water is quite safe for swimming. After the swim, you can try out those numerous eating joints which offer delicious Goan cuisine.
Bogmalo beach is beautiful in itself and many may disagree but it has been made special by the Oberois who manage a property here built by Trade Wings. This building is right on the sea. As the waves lash the parapets of the open-air restaurant, the drone of the restless Arabian Sea lulls to sleep even the most insomniac. This is one attraction which all the tourists eagerly look forward to submit to, though some feel the Oberois have stolen the natural beauty of the beach.
Beyond the building are mysterious little islands, shipwrecks in the silt and, around the hotel, plenty of pleasant eateries-each one of them claiming to be Osibisa's favorite. This pardonable selling trick began about 10 years ago when the Oberoi hosted the group.

Where to stay & eat?
Accommodation is not a problem at this beach. There are few luxurious hotels overlooking the beach which ensure a comfortable stay. But if you are looking for something, which will not burden your pockets much, then there are guesthouses where you can stay and enjoy the beaches of Goa.
Bogmallo Beach Resort Near the edge of the water, this hotel seems to have ignored all rules about distance from the sea. Its chief assets are proximity to the beach and comfortable rooms with a fantastic view of San Diego island the sea. The six-story high-rise design, on the other hand, is very low on character. Rooms tend to be difficult to book, as the hotel is usually crowded with charter tourists.
Coconut Creek This charming little resort is on a dense coconut plantation, just a 2-minute walk (about 1/2 km) from Bogmalo beach and a 3-km (2 mi) drive from Dabolim airport. Run by a friendly staff, this place has spotless, airy rooms, and a small swimming pool. Unlike many of Goas midrange resorts, it does succeed in creating a mellow vibe.
