Mandrem Beach is one of the more captivating beaches in Goa. The beach is lined with coconut trees along one side and sand dunes litter the sandy shores of the Mandrem beach.
Hotels and resorts abound on the beaches with one specialty: bamboo walkways have been constructed that lead down to the beaches from the hotels and resorts. These bamboo walkways were made to facilitate the crossing of hotel and resort guest to the beach during high tide. Mandrem Beach is considered as one of the more popular beaches around the state of Goa because of the many resorts and hotels, which cater to the needs of tourist and visitors flocking to the area.
It is only now that many hotels and resorts have begun to sprout all over the place, lining the edges of Mandrem Beach. One can also find resorts in secluded areas along the beach made purposely for travellers and tourists who prefer a quieter and more personal vacation, away from the hustle-bustle of the crowded resorts. The more recent hotels are set maybe few metres away from the main beach. These resorts offer a first-class experience; with world cuisine including local Goan fare. A few years’ ago, this stretch of beach was deserted and the sudden mushrooming of resorts and hotels indicates the growing popularity of Mandrem Beach, especially to the international tourists.
