10 Best Things To Do In Bardez, India

1. Candolim Beach

Candolim Beach is a very popular attraction, in Bardez. The tourists come just to see this beach, which is very quiet, romantic and full of fun. The evening sunset is particularly beautiful and a good time to stroll along the beach. There are also a variety of water sports to enjoy here, such as boating and water scooters, as well as plenty of good food.

Candolim is popular with newly married couples who come to see the silver sand and blue water. I recommend you to visit this beach, while in Bardez.

2. Anjuna Market

This is a famous market, in Bardez and is only open on Wednesdays. Many things can be found here, related to Goan culture. Here, you’ll need to be a smart buyer with some bargaining skills as many shopkeepers will ask for double what the items are worth. A good tip is to just start your offer at half or less than the shopkeeper’s opening bid.

Located near Anjuna Beach, you can find everything here, from clothing to ornaments, hats, goggles, spices and souvenir t-shirts. I recommend this must-visit place, for shopping.

3. Fort Aguada Lighthouse

This ancient fort and lighthouse is a great place to view the beauty of the sea. A bit difficult to climb because of the steep stairs, you will be rewarded once you get to the top. This lighthouse and fort were built by the Portuguese, in 1612, to protect against attacks by the Dutch and Marathas. It also served as a fresh water supply for passing ships as a natural spring was located within the fort. Full of beautiful scenery and a great place to watch the sunset, I recommend you don’t miss this stop, while in Bardez.
