Kakolem Beach, Goa Overview

One of the most secluded and beautiful beaches of Goa, Kakolem Beach, also called Tiger Beach, is a nature’s treat with its majestic cliffs and the rich vegetation. Located around 7km away from Cabo De Rama beach in South Goa, it is a beach hidden between tall cliffs and shaded coconut trees.

Being hidden from the public view, the way to Kakolem beach is quite tricky. You will have to climb down a small cliff near the Vagon bus stop to reach here, which falls on the way to Betul Beach from Canacona. The unruly wilderness, the quiet and the mystical surroundings are a major lure for all who are looking for a unique and a serene beach vacay.

This beach is mostly deserted except for one resort on top of the cliff. Thus, it is dangerous to swim here due to the lack of supervision or rescue service. Should you choose to jump in nonetheless, don't go in too far and watch out for the drops. There are steep steps across the side of the cliff where one may descend to the water. There are no restaurants or shacks here, and there is just the one resort called Palm Discoveries where travellers may stay and dine at this untamed beach.

Best Time To Visit Kakolem Beach

Accomodation near Kakolem Beach

However, since Kakolem Beach is not too well-known for its nightlife and parties, a good option is to stay on one of the nearby beaches such as Agonda, Cabo de Rama, or Kola Beach and take a trip and trek to the beach. Deprived of the late nightlife that of North Goa, Kakolem beach is a place that is usually explored for sightseeing and a number of watersports. In fact, it can be thoroughly enjoyed during the day time and late evening, if you want to witness the exquisite sunset.

Places to Eat near Kakolem Beach

Zill restaurant at the Palm Discoveries is the only restaurant one can dine at within the beach area. Specialising in the local Goan cuisine, one can also find Continental, Chinese, Russian, and Indian cuisine here.

Things to Do at Kakolem Beach

Belonging to this south part of Goa, the Kakolem Beach is an awesome destination to spend some quiet and peaceful time with your family. There are no houses or eateries nearby except for a small cabin where you can stay and dine. Plus, the nearest market to the beach is approximately 5 km away from the beach. As it is secluded, not many people visit the beach except a few who love nature and adventures. The beauty of the natural scene is a perfect place for gazing at the magnificent daylight views or the starlit nights. The water is inviting but can be dangerous due to the possibility of strong current winds and the lack of supervision or rescue service. So, it is not advisable to go swimming. With the increasing number of tourists, the beach has also started offering many watersports such as fishing, speed boat ride, paragliding etc.

How To Reach Kakolem Beach

There is no public transport that travels to this beach. You can only reach the location by private transport like a cab. The only way to reach the location is through NH 66 highway towards the Cola Village. There is a small path that takes you to a platform wherein you will come across some winding stairs that will take you to the beach. You will be required to trek to the beach from the platform. Apart from any private vehicle, you can also take an auto-rickshaw from Margao.
Another way to reach Kakolem Beach is to board the bus service that runs between Madgaon and Canacona via Betul Beach which stops at the Vagon bus stop, situated half a kilometre from the cliff above the beach and then trek from thereon.
