Galgibaga Beach is also called Turtle Beach because the whole northern part of this beautiful beach is used for turtles nesting. baga Beach is one of the three turtle's nesting beaches in Goa . And it is for this very reason that tourism infrastructure is not allowed to develop here. If you happen to visit this beach between Dec and Feb, you might be lucky to see some turtle nests/eggs. At other times, you might be lucky and see the olive ridley turtles making their way across the beach. The entire area comes under the purview of the forest department and they work hard to ensure that the turtles reach the sea safely upon hatching.
Galgibaga beach, small paradise of Calm, serene sea shore of Goa, is sandwiched between the Arabian Sea and a tiny hillock. About 1.5 km long sandy Galgibaga beach is a paradise for sea shore photography. The beach strip is about 1.7 km long and is covered with dense coconut, palms and casuarinas trees. This is possibly the cleanest beach on the Indian mainland and also has amazing smooth silver sands. Lifeguards are available on this beach to ensure your safety.
I used to stay in Margao,and my job is to explore each beach everyday whenever i get time.Some friends came and they wanted to go to a unique beach so i took them there.Better to leave early morning if you are planning for a dip,there are few shacks there.
This beach is located in the deep south of Goa, on the banks of the Galgibag river. It is about 56km away from Colva, which is a popular beach resort in South Goa and 54km away from Margao, the cultural capital of Goa.
The journey is beautiful as you will have to cross ghats to reach that spot.
Once we reached the spot got mesmerised from the natural beauty and serinity of the place.It was the second last beach after palom beach,just to assure you its not palolem beach i am talking about, both are different.So we kept our stuffs in a shack had one beer to chill down abit.
The following pic will tell u why this beach is totally different from others.
As you can see shade of the tress along with the beach..Goa doesnot have much beaches with this natural facility one more unique thing of this beach is the backwater.where you will get the feeling of loogon like cola beach.
It is the back water that you will see in the ariel view of cover.You can chill here in the cold breeze.
Then we went for a walk on the beach as the next plan was to enter water for swimming.
Then we kept our camera aside and went into the backwater to enjoy the clear water.We took ball with us so our time was spent very well. After getting tired we came back to shack took our shower and had our lunch with bira. Then we thought to have a nap and watch the sunset there.
Finally a goodbye to one of the most beautifull day of my life.
