Xandrem Beach
Xandrem Beach (also spelled Xendrem or Zandrem) is a true hidden gem located in Loliem village, South Goa, nestled between the more famous Galgibaga and Polem beaches in the Canacona region. If you’re searching for a quiet, untouched stretch of coastline where you can truly connect with nature, Xandrem Beach is the perfect spot.
How to Reach Xandrem Beach
View Location 
Xandrem Beach is about 38 kilometers from Margao, the major city in South Goa, and around 22 kilometers from Palolem. The beach is not easy to find on regular maps, but locals know it well. To reach by road, take the NH17 (now NH66) highway and look for the sign to Loliem village. Turn left at the gas station and follow the dirt road to a small village above the beach. Stone steps and a short trail through trees and brush will lead you down to the sand. You can also reach Xandrem by renting a boat from nearby beaches for a scenic water route.
What to Expect at Xandrem Beach
Xandrem Beach is a small, 400-500 meter stretch of golden sand, dotted with large lava stones and surrounded by high trees and dense greenery. The beach is framed by mountains, giving it a secluded, almost magical atmosphere. The entry into the sea is quite sharp, and there can be strong underwater currents, so swimming here requires extra caution.
There are no commercial amenities, restaurants, or accommodations at Beach. This makes it ideal for a peaceful day trip, especially for those who love nature, photography, or just want to relax in solitude. The beach is perfect for yoga, meditation, or simply unwinding with the sound of the waves and the beauty of untouched nature.
Why Visit Xandrem Beach?
If you’re looking to escape the crowds and experience one of Goa’s last truly wild beaches, Xandrem is a must-visit. Its untouched beauty, natural shade from trees, and dramatic scenery make it a favorite among locals and adventurous travelers. Just remember to bring your own food, water, and essentials, and be respectful of the pristine environment so it remains unspoiled for future visitors.
