'''Agonda''' is in Ponda.

Get in

Agonda by road is a long detour from the normal route one would take to the more famous, beautiful and approachable Palolem beach. Lookout for a dilapidated signboard after diverting towards Palolem from the highway, travel a long while from the signboard and you will end up near Agonda.

Ask for Canacona - many locals know Agonda by this name.

Public transport also runs to Agonda from other beaches. Check local schedules as they are confusing and subject to change - many buses list Agonda as the destination - this refers to the inland village the beach is named after.

Get around

Agonda is a nice long pristine stretch of beach. Though the waters here might not be the most ideal place for swimming(you have better beaches with calm waters in Goa), Agonda is definitely a place for those who want to quit on a Monday morning. Most mobile connections do not work here, so that is an added bonus for those looking forward to a quiet and relaxed holiday. And for the restless ones, the two hillocks on either ends of the beach are enough reasons to visit Agonda.
