Talpona Beach is all the way down south in Goa. It is a very quiet, secluded and clean beach situated in the Cancona Taluka in South Goa. Talpona is highly recommended for people seeking complete isolation and peace.
The untouched and pristine beach of Talpona is only about 1 kilometer long. The sea is turquoise blue and the sand velvety. There are no boats on the beach and very few or absolutely no people on the beach. On a very busy day, you’ll see about 30 people on the beach. There is a life guard cabin on the beach and the beach is very safe. The Talpona River is very close to the Talpona beach and it is said that the Talpona River joins the Arabian Sea here. Some of the other closeby beaches are the Rajbagh Beach, Galgibaga Beach and the popular tourist beach Palolem Beach. South Goa in general doesn’t not have many tourists and Talpona Beach, which is at the south most end, gets very few tourists. Hence it’s an unspoiled, undiscovered gem of South Goa, which is what I loved about this place. There are only a few Resorts and restaurants near the beach. No beach shacks at all. I have stayed at the Neelchands Resort, so I can vouch for them. The other resorts are Matoshri Huts and Peace Garden. There is a good local restaurant called Deepshika. The overall vibe of Talpona is very simple and basic. The closeby Talpona village is a really nice place to just walk around and interact with locals. I went for a run around the village and it was a great experience. It’s amazing to inhale the fresh air, eat fresh fish and live like a local. There are many dogs on the beach of Talpona and they all are extremely friendly and not at all a nuisance. You’ll also see a lot of cows too.
You can sit for hours on the Talpona Beach and watch the waves. I saw some of my favourite sunsets on this beach. The extreme end of the beach has rocks, that you can climb and go up a small hill (if you’re feeling a little adventurous).
Getting to Talpona: Airport to Talpona Beach is about 1 hour 40 mins and will cost you about Rs. 1800 one way. Once in Talpona, you can hire a scooter for about Rs. 300 and explore away.
I am so glad I discovered this pristine little beach. It is one of the best beaches I have been in Goa. Even though you are completely disconnected from the world, you’re just a 30 mins bike ride away from Palolem, which is the party place of South Goa.
