The last southern beach before you get to
Panaji is the first southern beach to be discovered by visitors: Bogmolo.
This broad beach, backed by palms, is now shared by visitors and fishermen
alike. You'd find bathers relaxing on sun beds under bright beach
umbrellas. Bogmolo is considered a safe beach for swimmers.
Bogmalo Beach is located 4 km away from the Dabolim airport and 8 km from
the port city of Vasco-da-Gama. Immediately south of the airport, the
Mormugoa peninsula's sun-parched central plateau tumbles to a flat-bottomed
valley lined with coconut trees and redbrick huts. The sandy beach at the
end of the cove is even more picturesque. a number of cafe's and bars have
crept up the beach. The beach is clean and not too crowded, the water
reasonably safe for swimming, and there are plenty of places to eat, drink
and shop at Bogmalo.
Try out the water sports that are offered here. Surfing, parasailing, there
are lots to do.
En route to the beach, one comes across the Naval Aviation Museum. This
museum, set up by the Indian Navy, is worth visiting.
The museum is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. However, it remains closed
on Mondays and public holidays.
