I also went to 13 North Goa beaches to review them head-to-head: https://youtu.be/teoRUkT0Y0Q
Arambol Beach in Goa has a lot of foreigner tourists, especially Russians, and lots of hippies. In fact, it used to have a big hippie market on the beach each night before the thing happened and things slowed. After being in India since 2018, I had never been though so I wanted to check it out but was curious how it would be.
What do you think? Would you visit? Or is there another beach you'd like to see more? Please let us know in the comments.

Once night falls, many people still walk the beach heading to and from cafes but it is quite long and there are not lights so do travel with friends.
