The Auguada Fort and the Light House in Candolim are a good spot to go with a four wheeler. The rains in Goa have never caused serious flooding issues in the past but care needs to be taken of tress being uprooted due to incessant rains.
The Auguada Fort was once a strong fortress under the Portuguese regime. The Portuguese soldiers kept watch and it was a idle watering hole for their own vessels at high sea.
The lower portion of the fort now is a secured jail and of of bounce for tourist as hard core criminals are serving their sentence in this high security zone.
The church on the hilltop is the only sign of civilisation and villagers attend Sunday mass despite it not being ideally situated .
A walk down would take you to the light house. A must see infact as the view from top is fantastic. If the weather permits you could capture some glorious moments from top of the light house.
A small fee is charged by the government office but its worth the trip. Those interested in camping, the Auguada Fort area is a best bet to camp, but only for the day with the sea streching at the end of the hilllock with the magnificient Hotel Taj standing out majestically towards the right would surely make your day.
No shacks are present on the beach during monsoons but there are restaurants in the surroundings.
Agonda Beach |
The beaches which are really good and worth going to are Agonda in the South of Goa and Morjim beach towards the North of Goa. But for those loking for some spunk and excitement Cola beach and Cab de Ram in South Goa is a must see.
The view at Can de Ram is divine and private as very few tourist know of these two beaches. The Cola beach is jagged rocks and a small stretch of beach but the drive and location is a bolt out of the blue.
The drive to these two beaches is almost one hour from Panjim but the view will keep you engrossed.
