Candolim & Fort Aguada Day Trip — Sinquerim and the Lighthouse
Candolim is Calangute's calmer neighbour, and Fort Aguada is the reason to come. Built in 1612 to hold the Mandovi against the Dutch, it kept a freshwater cistern that ships refilled and still carries a working lighthouse, the oldest in Asia. The day pairs beach time at Candolim and Sinquerim with the fort and its lower battery on the headland.
