Coco Beach

India / Goa / Panaji /
Coco beach is situated at the mouth of the Nerul River on the Mandovi Estuary, directly opposite Panaji. This beach is often considered as the abridged gateway between Candolim and Nerul. The thriving fishing village has gained prominence in recent years with its exquisite location and popularity with foreign tourists.
There are regular boat rides into the Mandovi river and most notably, into the bay, where tourists can engage in one of Coco's most popular attractions: wild dolphin spotting.

  • Moved from description: "Difficult to access, especially during the Monsoons, we found our way from the church in the vicinity after listening to many conflicting opinions about which route we should take from the locals. Practically had to ride through people's backyards to reach the beach which was... well, not quite there! ... Seems like it gets completely inundated during the monsoons. Incidentally some fishermen near Baga and Calangute had advised us to come here as the open sea was rather choppy. It was more fun getting here though... Shubhojoy. Addendum by E.Calvert:- not difficult to get to from Nerul but beach gradually disappearing through erosion during the monsoon season. Many beach shacks relocating to Morjim area."

  • his beach can be visited only for one purpse - Dolphins! The beach is quiet dirty and the water on the shore is not clean, so don't think of diving in... just take the tickets to the dolphin tour and hop in the boat :-) The Dolphin Spotting will cost you around Rs. 300 per head for 1 hr (which also includes some other attractions like Central Jail, some millionaire's Rs 80 Crore palace, view of Aguada Fort Lighthouse etc., but these are not worth) Coming to the Dolphins - not that great, fine if you missed it.
