Sernabatim Beach, Colva — Restaurant in Goa

Visited around 5:30 PM, and the beach had a moderate crowd, mostly locals rather than tourists. The cleanliness was average, and parts of the beach were a bit dirty, which was unexpected. The vibe here is definitely family-friendly, but it’s not ideal for those seeking solitude or a soul-searching experience.

Best time to visit: Mornings are great for a quiet, relaxing time, while evenings are better for swimming and beach fun. That said, the crowd and atmosphere can vary.

The only downside of swimming here is that we have seen one or two jellyfish of decent size swimming alongside. I got stung while swimming, possibly by one of these. Though the stung pain, the pain is not more than multiple...

As we entered Colva beach we turned left and walked. And kept walking, breathing in deep the sea breeze. After about 20 minutes or so we were at Sernabatim beach. The crowds had thinned noticeably between Colva beach and this beach. This beach had no sign marking it except a hand painted sign to inform you that its Sernabatim beach. This place is good for a walk, less crowded than Colva, but not much happening here. No shacks, no hawkers, nobody trying to sell you anything. One line fisherman trying with all his might to pull in his fishing net, that was the highlight. Do visit for a quiet...
