Beaches of Goa are the best ones in the whole country of India where you can enjoy everything you can. Among the turtle beaches of Goa, the three beaches namely Agonda in South Goa, Morjim in the North and Galgibaga Beach are the ones where the sea turtles are seen. The Olive Ridley turtles are known to lay their eggs between the months of October and March. Normally turtles are spotted to live in water or out of water. But these sea turtles love to stay in water most of the time. They only come to the beach when it is time to lay eggs. The strip of the beach stretches along 1.7 km and ashore rows of pine trees. The beach is very calm and serene and the entrance is kind of sharp way. The beach is located in South Goa towards the Talpona Sea coastline.
As a turtle beach
The female turtles lay eggs in the sandy beach at a spot and after laying the eggs they return to the sea. The eggs get hatched within duration of two months and the baby turtles swim into the sea with the waves. This is how the turtles increase their family. Normally the turtles are seen only on clean beaches and where there is less crowded area. The forest department of Goa runs a conservation program where they take care of the eggs after the turtles hatch it. They notice the hatching area and enclose it with mark so they are safe from any kind of accidental damage. They keep records and pictures of the turtles laying eggs. Usually the turtles are seen at night so if you are eager to see them then do go there at night.
You can stay at Palolem which is near to the beach. You can choose either of the two ways to reach the beach from Palolem.
