UTORDA BEACH

UTORDA BEACH
Utorda is a small beach in South Goa, 15.1 kilometers from Vasco da Gama via the
NH566 and MDR43. It is just north of the more famous Majorda beach. It is a serene and quiet beach with soft, golden sand. The beach has a dense cover of palm trees and casuarinas that sway to the gentle wind of the sea. You will also find wide open spaces unlike the busy areas of Goa that are packed with hotels, resorts, and shops. Utorda Beach offers a laid-back ambiance, away from the glare of mass tourism. If you are looking for a lazy holiday away from the crowds in a picturesque location, then Utorda can be a great choice for you. It will also be a great choice for those who just want to relax, sunbathe, and swim with privacy.
There are only a few places to stay here – a couple of star-category resorts, a few hotels, and some luxury holiday villas. With few live-in tourists, the beach never gets crowded, even during the peak season. There are almost no day visitors as well because most people head to the neighboring Majorda Beach, which is more famous. But you will find everything in Utorda that Majorda offers. And yet, it has somehow remained under the radar – good, though, for those who want tranquility and serene nature:
The beach is small. Utorda is a 785-meter long sandy beach, but it is a part of the continuous 26.5 kilometers long shoreline from Hollant beach south of Vasco da Gama to the confluence of the Sal River with the Arabian Sea in Mobor. So, it is difficult to identify where the Utorda Beach begins and ends. It has the Cansaulim Beach in the north and Majorda Beach in the south.
The beach has soft golden sand that slides down gently into the sea.
The sea is calm, clear, and safe for swimming. There are no riptides.
The Arabian Sea here is very clean too as there are few tourists. There are three beach shacks on either side of the Beach Road that connects Utorda with the State Highway 43. You will also find a wedding venue on the beachside and a couple of other restaurants, including Zeebop, which serves one of the best seafood’s in South Goa.
