Goa is home to more than 70 beaches, and there runs a 100-km-long coastline from the North to the South of Goa. How about exploring every beach on your Royal Enfield wearing your favourite Hawaiian shirt? Let us find out the top places to explore on your bike. 

#1 Arambol Beach

Every year, from November to March, Arambol beach is crammed with tourists. This village is popularly known as the old fisherman village and is located in the northern part of Goa. Take your rented bike, and visit this beach, which is famous for its sweet water lagoon. Don’t forget to take a dip in the shallow and calm beach water famed for its healing properties. If you are in the mood to dance the night away, Arambol Beach offers shacks and open beach events in plenty. 

#2 Ashvem Beach 

You might not have encountered this name much, as this is one of the hidden gems of Northern Goa. This place is quite hyped among the Russians since they are the ones who spend their vacations here. Therefore, you will notice most shacks and restaurants serving Russian cuisine on your visit here. If you are a couple visiting this beach, the ideal way to celebrate your togetherness is by taking a walk on the long stretch lined with coconut palms and clear beaches while having a chilled beer. Bike rent in Goa is incomplete without visiting Ashvem Beach. 

#3 Calangute Beach

Located in the centre of Goa, Calangute is often considered the queen of all beaches. Adventure freaks would totally dig this place since it offers water activities, shopping, markets, restaurants, nightclubs, beach shacks, and the list of attractions continue. It is located quite near the capital of Goa, Panjim. So, all the partygoers, make your way to Calangute Beach whenever you are in Goa. 

#4 Agonda Beach

Moving to the South Goa region, Agonda Beach is nothing less than exotic. Rent a two-wheeler from bike rentals in Goa, and set out for the 3-km-long sandy beach. Your partner will certainly like the idea of gazing at the sunset while taking a long walk. For a change, you can stay in the picturesque Agonda Village, which is best traversed on foot. Visit the local fish market in the morning, get some fresh fish back to your Airbnb, and relish a fish fry. 

#5 Palolem Beach

International tourists flock to this beach between November and March. It is situated in the Canacona region of Southern Goa, where you will frequent the fantastic shacks for some booze or finger foods, get an adrenaline rush with water sports, spend your heart out in the street markets, and not miss out on the famous Goan cuisine. The calming side of Palolem Beach is hard to miss as well. Regardless of when you wake up, you cannot give the early morning dolphin sighting a miss. 

#6 Cola Beach

Cola Beach holds quite an enigma since it is the most isolated and hidden Goan beach. It is slightly remote from the capital of Goa: around 60 km. Travelling to this beach is often regarded as an uphill task, but if you opt for bike rent in Goa, you can easily glide through the 2-hour road from Panjim to Cola. Always trust the locals for directions since GPS is pretty disappointing. This beach is ‘the beach’ for ultimate rejuvenation. 

The list clearly doesn’t end here. There are more additions to the famous Goan beaches, like Anjuna, Baga, Vagator, etc. Work hard to accumulate all the leaves, and set aside enough time to visit these beaches. And, with a bike, you are all set to travel even to the rugged roads. Goa has some unimaginable hidden gems like waterfalls and restaurants that will undoubtedly leave you wanting more. So, when are you visiting Goa?
