Lin is right, yet again
The waves further north are far calmer than the likes on baga,calangute,candolim.

I always go up north, to ashwem,manderin (sp) etc, at least 3 times in our 2 weeks holiday, so my little boy can play in the sea, but only with me.

Its also really good there because later on in the day, around 3-4pm, theres little water pools which are like a warm bath. We can just sit in them and play for a long time.

I would be careful at Morjim with it being close to the Estuary, my friend who is a fit strong 27 year old had to be pulled out of the sea after getting caught in a bad under current as did a lad from the same hotel on the same day, ask local advice before venturing in

Coco beach is the calmest beach ive been to and its not too far away from Candolim.

Agree that Coco is very calm but it can also be a bit dirty at times and you have to watch out for the boats ! Calmest and nicest we ever went to was Agonda in the south but that might have just been a good day. Saying that we were ushered out of the sea by a group of fishermen who then proceeded to throw dynamite in to stun the fish so they could catch them. Not sure which is worse....undercurrent or nearly being blown to Kingdom come

we also found agonda the best place for swimming to the left where the rocks are is a little bay that allways seems to be calm

That's the place. Near to a strange shaped palm tree that seems to grow sideways out of the sand. Sea is lovely there.

hi sim funny you should say about the dynamite cos one day we went for a swim there and there were a few dead fish floating around , we have also seen monkeys there quite a lot of them in the trees
