However, May to September are not the months to explore the ocean as Goa mostly sees higher tides and stronger winds. This thankfully does keep a lot of tourists away. Benaulim beach had 3 points of entry around the Trinity area. Entry 1: can be accessed from the southern tip. If you stand facing the ocean (which you won't really see - but imagine you are facing it) when at the trinity church, the road on your left will take you there. It is also easier to spot it as the Taj is located around there. There are no shacks, there no human in sight. Making it the most uninhabited spot. But due to the Taj, people do use the beach a lot from time to time. Entry 2: If you drive down directly via the trinity church, you will find the best spot to the beach. There are very few shacks, as a result very few or no tourists. Making it the best spot. Entry 3: If you go via, the Maria Hall, you get a few more shacks, along with Jauncy's, best known for its Goan and Sea food Cuisines. Don't ask for sandwiches and all, they will either take forever or keep getting it wrong. Water sports in Benaulim are not as chaotic as in Colva, though some operators hang around the beach shacks. One of the best is Pele’s Water Sport, which offers parasailing and dolphin-spotting trips, as well as jet skis for hire.
