Candolim beach is located to the south of Calangute Beach. The beach has a lot of shrub vegetation along the shoreline with many paths leading to the beach. One can undertake jet skiing, paragliding and dolphin sighting tours from water sport operators on this beach. The beach is located at a distance of 12 kms. from Mapusa and 14 kms. from Panaji.
A large ship, the River Princess can be seen moored a short distance from the beach. The ship landed on the beach a decade ago when it got detached from its anchorage at Vasco harbor in 2003 and was beached on the sandbar. Efforts to tow it have failed and it has remained on the beach ever since. Occasionally one can see tourists fishing along the beach using a rod and line. Accommodation is easy to find as there are plenty of guest houses, hotels and resorts in the area. Candolim is easily accessible from Mapusa by bus.
