Arambol
Beach (Harmal) |
Then there is the beach
that is the furthest north: Arambol also called Harmal.
The sand is soft and white, there are cottages on the
red laterite slopes, rocks in some places, a freshwater
pond, and the approach road is lined with shacks offering
souvenirs and clothes. At one end of it runs the Tiracol
River and beyond rises the Tiracol Fort, now an interesting
little hotel.
When you reach Harmal,
you are 50 km away from Panaji. If you have traveled on
this coastal quest with us, you will have visited nineteen
of the better-known beaches of Goa.
Of course, there
are many, many more: hidden coves, secret bays, and breathtaking
golden pockets nestling in the palms. An even as you read
this, the sea continues to whisper on the sand and create
newer and still newer beaches all the time.
