Best Beach to visit in Goa for introverts?
Minor Details Matter.. only during Travel.
Nice tarred roads. Greenery on both sides of the road, makes it unbelievable, that it still exists, in India, even in 2018!
Agonda is not very commercial and we loved that about it. Uncrowded, sandy beaches can be found at Agonda, located in South Goa. Goa is a state like no other, I am scared to admit, in case it becomes like other tourism spots.
Velvet Sunset at Agonda beach has everything a mentally tired human being would need. A budget accommodation that is neat, clean and comfy. Its also simple, isolated yet not that much, yet.
Huts are placed close to the beach.
Close enough to feel the heat of the afternoon sun, the burning sand beneath your scalding feet as you leave the cooler waters of the beach. Enjoy cool nights, on the beach under the night sky, one with the stars. Snuggle up inside a blanket and thank the God's for this beautiful place on earth.
Food - Velvet Sunset serves brilliant tea. Who doesn't want a good morning to start even during vacations?
Whatever you crave for is available around the corner.
Just take a leisurely walk on the beach and drop into any of the beachside shacks. Eat and drink all that you want. Alcohol and fruit based drinks are available from sun dawn till sundown.
Grab a book from the café, as you down those drinks at the watering hole and take a break from the sun. I found a good read to down with my Feni Cocktail. Feni is local drink available only in Goa, made from cashew nuts. Its the only drink I can make out the flavour of!
We just parked ourselves at DucknChills all day. Ate, read, drank and lazed around all day till the stars came out.
As night falls, the beach comes to life draped with soft lanterns sitting outside the beach shacks. Pay heed to the Forest Department hoarding of nests of Olive Ridley turtles. If you are lucky, you may see tiny Olive ridley turtle babies making their way to the sea!
I had hoped to see some Olive Ridley Turtles laying eggs in the deep of the night. As luck has it, I am not that lucky. You might be!
We did see patches of the beach secluded by Forest Department probably containing Turtle eggs.
The serenity of the beach and the cleanliness makes it worthwhile to visit. You can lose yourself in the morning sun, run on the beach, and float in the sea.
Love you Goa. Lets meet again, soon.

How to reach Goa for those first timers.
Planned a trip to Goa, on an early morning impulse (4.00), to get away from the drudgery of everyday life.
Did not want to mingle with the crowd or come anywhere close to them.
How to reach Goa from Hyderabad?
Headed to Agonda Beach to get rid of the madness. We took the train from Hyderabad to Margao as that was closest to Agonda Beach. Travel time was unbearable - insane 24 hours. All that was forgotten as soon as we left Margao Station.Nice tarred roads. Greenery on both sides of the road, makes it unbelievable, that it still exists, in India, even in 2018!
