Arambol Beach in Goa

Arambol Beach is located within the Pernem administrative region of the district of north Goa of the state of Goa, in India. Arambol Beach is placed at just about an hours drive from the Dabolim airport of Goa. Arambol Beach  has a distinct bohemian feel , unlike the other beaches like calangute which no longer have it.  This feel brings most of the international  tourists to the Arambol Beach during the winter season.

Arambol is in the district of North Goa and is located  at about 32 kilometers of northwest of Mapusa.  Because of its remote location  and the  beautiful rock bays in the headland, it attracts many tourists  and gets crowded at times. The main reason for the beach to get too many tourists stems from the fact that the beach has both rocks and sand along the beach.
