Agonda Beach in the state of Goa, is a very isolated beach and comes when you detour from Palolem Beach. Agonda Beach is usually a day tour from either Palolem or Benaulim Beaches. This is a relatively unknown beach with very few facilities.

Location of the Agonda Beach

It can be said that Agonda is an undiscovered paradise of Goa and it is also known as the Silent Beach of Goa.
Agonda is a small fishermen village at about 37 kilometers to the south of Madgaon and about 10 kilometers to the north of Chaudi. Agonda beach is known for its isolated location with a 3 kilometers stretch of sand fringed with swaying palm trees and casuarinas. There is a big hill on the south of the Beach. Due to the beach's isolated location there are very few facilities available here and that may attract some tourists who want isolation.
