Everything GoaPlace recommends in Sinquerim: 1 places to visit, 1 stay, 2 things to do.
Sinquerim is in the Calangute–Baga–Candolim belt (North Goa). It is roughly 9 km from Panaji, 20 km from Dabolim airport and 39 km from Mopa airport by road. North Goa is the livelier half of the coast: cafés, nightlife, markets and water sports.
Built by the Portuguese in the early 1600s to guard the Mandovi and give passing ships fresh water — 'aguada' means watering place. The ramparts and old lighthouse overlook the Arabian Sea and glow in late-afternoon light.
Boat trips to Grande Island off Goa's coast offer beginner 'discover scuba' dives and snorkelling over reefs and old wrecks. Choose a certified dive centre (PADI/SSI) and check the day's visibility.
Local boatmen run half-day fishing and crab-catching trips on the rivers and near the coast — some shacks will cook your catch. Great with a group of friends.
One of Goa's grande-dame resorts, set on the slopes below Fort Aguada with lawns running down to Sinquerim beach. Sea-view rooms, a big pool and the fort for a morning walk.
