Geography & terrain

Sinquerim lies in the North Goa district of Goa, 12 km from Panaji and 45 km from Goa airport — the resort beach of the region, its Aguada fort, the watersports and the shacks set on the Mandovi bay's edge.

History & culture

The beach's story runs with the 1612 fort era — the resort beach of the Aguada fort and the 1612-era lighthouse of the Portuguese era, with the beach's modern role as the beach stop of the Goa circuit and the home of the 1612-era fort and the watersports decks and the 1990s-era shacks; the beach's history of the 2000s-era resort life and the dolphin cruises, gives Sinquerim its resort character.
