Water Sports at Candolim Beach

The price of watersports can be a touch higher but its better you negotiate and seek for extra time rather than bargaining on the prices. It will help to get something extra in terms of time rather than get into tangles of lowering the price. There is more to explore here as joining cooking or yoga classes could add to your repertoire, but need to look out for the right agency. Great place for beach chilling and photo-ops, just remember that “you” are in control when it comes to sellers so play a smart card and get the best deal.

Travelling to Candolim is something magical that forces you to return again and again. The beach has some wonderful beach Shacks and one recommended place is Bono’s, where the food and facilities are second to none with clean, toilets and showers.
