Agonda,
Catch a ferry from cavelossim across the River Sal and follow the coastal road through a couple of villages and then onto cabo Da Rama (turn right at a beautiful coconut plantation) an old ruined fort with a resident troupe of monkeys (Freya loved watching the monkeys swinging through the trees though in truth we all did), the old pool with kingfishers and off the rocks if you are lucky (we were) a couple of sea otters. Also enjoy the fantastic views down the coast. Agonda is a further 20 mins drive.
After a short drive through the delightful little village we arived at Madhu Shack and coco-huts and we were given hut no.1. It was basic but clean (kind of like camping on stilts) but from your hut you go back down the wooden steps right onto the sand of a beach straight out of a bounty advert. Spent the rest of the day lazing/strolling/exploring.
Then at sunset swimming in the sea watching the sun go down,as the fishing boats come and go and a procession of local woman carrying firewood on there heads snake along the beach. A truly magical scene.
In the morning stepped straight onto the beach and went for a 0730 walk along the beach, spotted some dolphins as well as a couple of sea otters (near the estuary) there heads bobbing up and down as they fished for there breakfast. Sat in the sand beside the estuary and watched a village wake up. A dip in the sea preceded breakfast before another lovely day in paradise.
And the bill for drinks all day for 2 days, 2 lunches, 1 breakfast a dinner which included a gorgeous tandoori kingfish which along with a couple of loaves of bread would have fed the 5000 and a night in the shack for all 3 of us cost less than £20 .
We didn't see any turtles but did see the nest from where they will soon appear and as we left at sunset we were still spotting dolphins just off the shore.
Agonda though does have 1 major flaw......once you are there you may not want to leave (we went back the following week)
