Situated 2km from South of Colva, Benaulim beach is a fishing beach known for its serene and calm atmosphere. Despite having a big fishing industry, the beach is not known by many people and unseen by a large number of crowds that mostly visit the North Goan beaches. The reason why this beach stands out from other beaches in Goa is because of its cleanliness and serene environment. The weather is just like just other places in Goa with hot and humid summers, pleasing winters, and heavy monsoons.

You can also enjoy several watersports like parasailing, surfing, jet skiing, etc., and go on Dolphin sighting trips. The beach is also filled with beach shacks that serve delicious seafood and beverages that make it no less than a paradise.

The best time to visit Benaulim Beach is from October to April. Goa has a hot and humid climate throughout the year and going in the summers in the afternoon is not advisable. If you wish you can still visit the beach in summer during the evenings when the sun is down but the weather will still be humid.
The monsoons arrive from July till September and visiting the beach during monsoons is risky. Winters on the other hand are very pleasant and the weather is not hot even during the afternoon.
