I would say it's a beach worth visiting once, but there isn't much to do here. It's not crowded and there aren't any parties happening. However, you can find cashew nuts at a reasonable price.

I'm not sure why this beach is considered a must-see in Panjim. Is it just because Singham was filmed here? Unfortunately, everything is closed off and the bridge is blocked, so there's not much to see. The only things open are a few shops if you want to buy something or if you're interested in seeing where Ajay Devgan ran in that Singham scene. Otherwise, it's not worth your time.

On my one and only trip to this beach, I found nothing particularly noteworthy about it. The government is in the process of constructing a few shops, but otherwise the atmosphere was unremarkable. The beach was a bit overcrowded and unfortunately not very clean. However, the garden area did have some comfortable and well-placed seating arrangements.

The beach with crystal clear waters perfect for a refreshing swim. I had the pleasure of indulging in some exhilarating water sports here, which was an unforgettable experience. However, the only drawback is the lack of restroom facilities on or near the beach. Fortunately, there is a hotel in close proximity that provides direct access to this magnificent beach.
