After the Canaguinim beach, one comes across the Nuvem beach that is a tiny beach that has red and black stones. There are many buses that run from Margao to Cabo De Rama (which is situated nearby) that stop at Canaguinim.

Just 3 km by sea and 10-12 km overland to the south from civilized Cavelossim and brilliant Mobora resorts – and you will get to almost unnoticed by the tourists, a wild but so much beautiful Canaguinim Beach. More precisely – Beaches, because Canaguinim consists of two amazing beaches North Canaguinim and South Canaguinim. These “small pieces of heaven” are surrounded by lush wild vegetation, covered with golden sand and washed by warm waters of the Arabian Sea.

North Canaguinim has a length of about 350 meters; from the western side it is protected by a land shaft and in the north, it is crossed by a small river.

South Canaguinim has a length of about 180 meters and has lots of stones, which makes it unsuitable for beach activities. But still this part of Canaguinim is perfect for picnics, sun baths and pleasant walks. Both beaches are safe for swimming, but to swim here is not that easy, again, due to great number of stones. However, even in spite of their emptiness, these two beaches have a Baywatch so that if even you will decide to have a little dip in the tender Arabian Sea waters near Canaguinium Beaches, you can be absolutely calm: your life is not threatened.

Canaguinium Beaches are very suitable for those who like to spend their holidays in savage. There are no facilities for tourists on the beach. To get something to eat you will need to go to the same-named village, which situates 800 meters from the shore. There is only one variant of accommodation here: to rent a room in the village.
