Agonda beach is the perfect beach for anyone who simply wants to relax away from it all. This seemingly endless pristine beach stretches for around 3 kilometers and it’s lined with simple beach shacks. Hawkers aren’t allowed on the beach, so you’ll be able to remain refreshingly undisturbed.
Patnem is located in south Goa, 43 kilometers (26 miles) from Marago and 76 kilometers (47 miles) from Panaji. It’s 10 minutes north of the much busier Palolem beach, south Goa’s most popular beach. So, if the solitude at Agonda gets too much, you won’t have far to go for entertainment.
The closest railway stations to Agonda are Marago on the Konkan Railway, and Canacona (also known as Chaudi). Canacona is a 20 minute drive away from Agonda and the journey costs around 200 rupees in an auto rickshaw. Marago is 30 minutes away and costs 600-700 rupees in a taxi. Alternatively, Goa’s Dabolim airport is around one hour away. A taxi from the airport will cost 1,000-1,500 rupees.
Chilling, swimming, walking, eating and just generally doing nothing are the main attractions at Agonda. Boat trips are possible for those who are up for some activity.
