and Lakes of GoaLocation : 7-km West Of Margao, South Goa
Nearby Attraction: Colva & Varca Beaches
The Beach at Benaulim is very quiet and pleasant. The best thing about Benaulim is that it is still
unexplored by the domestic tourists even though it is a fishing beach. The evenings are pretty crowded
on weekends. It gets fairly crowded with Indian visitors.
General Information
The Church of St John the Baptist is situated on a hill beyond the village and is worth to visit. On the
arrival of the monsoon, Feast of St John the Baptist (Sao Joao) is celebrated as a thanksgiving. A Sleepy
Village Only a decade ago, this fishing and rice-farming village, scattered around the coconut groves and
paddy fields between the main Colva-Mobor Road and the dunes, had barely made it onto the
backpackers map. Now, the shady lane leading through it is studded with guesthouses and souvenir
stalls while the paddy fields on the outskirts are gradually disappearing under a rash of gigantic luxury
resorts and time-share apartment blocks. For the time being, however, this remains a peaceful and
welcoming place to unwind. Either side of the sand blown beachfront, the gently shelving sands
shimmer away almost to the horizon, litered with photogenic wooden fishing boats that provide
welcome shade if the walk from the palm trees to the sea gets too much. Hawkers, itinerant masseurs
and fruit wallahs appear from time to time, but one can easily escape them by heading south towards
neighbouring Varca, where tourism has thus far made little impact. Moreover, the sea is safe for
swimming, being generally jellyfish-free, while the village itself boasts a few serviceable bars and
restaurants, several telephone booths and a couple of stores.
Eating Out
Benaulim's proximity to Margao market, along with the presence of its Christian Fishing Community,
means its restaurants serve the most succulent, competitively priced seafood in Goa. The most popular
places to eat are the shack cafes in the beachfront area, where Johncy's catches most of the passing
custom. However, one'll find better food at lower prices in the smaller terrace restaurants further along
the beach and scattered around the village. Arguably the best of bunch is the Palm Grove's Congenial
Garden Restaurant, and there is a string of lookalike café-bars, which dot the lane leading to it. For fresh
seafood, though, the Hawaii Shack is hard to beat.

guests.
