Located
about 50 km from Panaji, the long and lonely ambience of the Arambol
beach provides a soothing contrast to the hustle and bustle of other
Northern Goa beaches. If you are yearning for some solitude and
tranquility, the Arambol beach with its serene surroundings fits the
bill perfectly. Arambol comprises two beaches and the bigger one is
known as the Harmal beach.The Arambol beach is a vast stretch of golden sand interspersed with rocky headlands. A hot spring near the main beach, which feeds into a freshwater lake, produces silt on the lakeshore regarded as having skin curative elements. The rocky headland or the cliffs near the beaches lend themselves ideally for paragliding. Apart from paragliding, one can set out on Dolphin watching boat trips.
The nearby village of Arambol is a typical Goan fishing village. They are friendly people and you chat up with one of them, chances are that you get to listen to some interesting anecdotes. The otherwise quiet Arambol beach throbs with activities on weekends when large crowds of local picnickers gather here for holidaying.
