Talpona Beach

Talpona beach Goa, is one of the few remaining beaches in Goa where fishermen bringing in the daily catch can still outnumber visitors. Low-key and laid-back, this long stretch of golden sand with sparkling crystal clear waters was, until recently, a little known piece of paradise. But even with its gradual discovery and gentle development, it is still a perfect for those who prefer peace and quiet away from the busier Goa beaches.

The north end of the beach borders the Talpona river and is still a sleepy unspoilt village, where the main business of the day is the fishing boats heading out to sea. Towards the centre of the beach there are a couple of shacks where day trippers can be found lounging in cushioned cane chairs and eating fresh seafood with their toes in the sand. For anyone interested in staying in Talpona, a couple of new resorts have bungalows right on the beach, and there are some houses and apartments available to rent in the village.

Head towards the south of the beach, however, and the sense of seclusion and the stunning natural scenery intensify. Dolphins swim near to the shore, eagles circle overhead and monkeys can be seen swinging in the trees. The sand here is usually deserted, and around the headland is Galjibag - more commonly called Turtle Beach as a protected nesting site for the endangered Olive Ridley turtle.

Aside from taking a gentle stroll, however, the the main order of the day on Talpona beach is lounging on the sand with a good book, taking a dip in the gentle waves and enjoying the exquisite sunsets with a tropical fruit juice or ice cold beer. Holidaymakers looking for a break from paradise can head to Patnem or Palolem beaches, a 20-minute drive away, with their wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. Chaudi town, about the same distance away, has banks, ATMs, pharmacies and stores selling everyday essentials. The easiest way to get around if to hire a scooter, or grab a local rickshaw.

Talpona village is set across the river from Rajbug beach and the Lalit hotel, just over the bridge of Chaudi-Talpona road, the centre of this village is the fishing boat porting area on the bank of the river, and further down the same road lies the tranquil Talpona beach.

Typically for south Goa beaches Talpona is very quiet, relaxed and un-populated by tourist yet at large, offering very few options for accommodation, and even smaller selection when it comes to dining, luckily it is set close enough to Chaudi, a small town that offers most necessities for travellers.
