Our Arambol beach review
Arambol beach is one of the best beaches in Goa, India. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, Arambol Beach is a must-visit for anyone visiting Goa. It has laid-back atmosphere, warm sea with enjoyable waves and golden sand. We found it nice and clean. There is not so many people like on a Baga beach which was very crowded. Therefore you can easily enjoy your trip without getting disturbed by people.
Enjoy your day on a sun, have some delicious food and drinks or go shopping on the main street. There you can find many shops with interesting clothes, souvenirs, hand made products and much more. In the evening you can enjoy colorful sunset and just chill. After the sunsent don’t forget to have romantic dinner with candles right on the beach.
