Kakolem Beach

Kakolem Beach

Kakolem beach is a tiny beach cove situated to the south of Cabo de Rama beach. It is one of the most secluded yet one of the most beautiful beaches in Goa. The beach is located at a distance of 31 kms from the city of Margao. There is a small path off the main road which leads down to the beach. The beach has a small freshwater spring that splashes down the hillside to the beach. Kakolem Beach is a knee-high to a duck beach, which has spread its expanse in a Bay. The Beach is located 7 km to south from Cabo de Rama resort. This is one of the most isolated and truly wild beaches in whole Goa. It is also called Tiger Beach. Some people even claim that Kakolem is a secret place to hunt tigers, though in reality no one can say that they have ever really seen here this amazing King of Indian jungle.

The breathtakingly beautiful, view opens eyes of everyone who is coming here for quite cozy rest from the nearby hill. From the rock, which is placed right in the Beach, a cool stream flows. Its sprays are showered down through slope to the shore before falling into the sea. Pure and soft sand is crossed with large sharp stones, with which here and there the bottom of the sea is sheltered too. Mostly, the Beach is lonely and deserted; there are no houses nearby except the only one cabin. There are no places to have a snack here as well as no places to stay for the night.

To reach the Kakolem Beach by land is extremely difficult task to do. On NH66 Highway you will need to move towards the village of Kola, then turn to the north-east and drive the broken old road which leads to a small platform. There you will see a narrow steep winding staircase made of stone stairs. By using it you will be able to go down to the Beach. But if you want to get to Kakolem Beach safe and sound and without such extreme adventures, then you’ve better try to get there by sea. This variant is very easy and safe. All you need is just to find any water-engine transportation for rent, and in a while after that you will be able to enjoy the quietness of paradisaical Tiger Beach resort.
