Vainguinim Beach is located close to the Dona Paula Beach, about 7 km from Panjim, 12 km from Old Goa, 16 km from Mangueshi Temple and 12 km from the Bird Sanctuary. The airport is about 30km away. This small stretch of neat and tidy silver sand beach breaks out from a lush green forest and runs down the shore to meet a crystal blue bay of Vainguinim. Sheltered from the landside by rich greenery and some delightful knolls that beg to be explored by enthusiastic walkers, the beach is home to the avian species, which gather in hordes. Over 500 bird species can be spotted near the plantation at the beach. Nearby luxury hotels offer many amenities including a gaming resort. Vainguinim provides the most tempting combination of sun, sand, sea and surf that is too hard to resist for any beach lover and water sport adventurer. The Catholic basilicas and the nearby Government Emporia (silk articles) are an added bonus offered to visitors.
